32 oz Jar

So I have a 32oz maybe a little bigger that I want to plant, one stem plant, some duckweed, and maybe some moss. Now I was thinking what sort of shrimp or snail that could do well alone in such a jar. Maybe a small floating plant as well.

Ramshorn snails comes to mind. They live in my koi pond year-round and are very hardy little things. They are rather interesting to watch and will eat just about anything. I'm growing some out in a bowl with just water, leaves, and some duckweed right now.

Some shrimp might be able to survive but it depends on how cold that jar would get in the winter.

During the winter my room is heated to 84 so tanks are around 82-80

Red ramshorns are so pretty, I was thinking about that because they have that eye popping color that would stand out against the leaves. I also just love them because they have such decorative looking shells compared to other snails. I guess nerits are very pretty too but they seem more expensive for a single snail display. I would rather have them in a tank with fish.

I think that's a really cool idea! :) I love combining red (or other colored natural- things, like the ramshorn snails) with lots of greenery... Can't wait to see what you do! Although I must say that I can't offer much (useful) advice, as I don't (yet) have a lot of experience w/ planted tanks, or snails/shrimp.... But I like where ur headed :) Good Luck!
