I'm trying to set up a tubifex culture and people says it's hard (you have to keep It clean, oxygenate the water...), but i noticed they spawn crazy in closed jars with 0 ventilation, just dirty water and mud. Can you help me doing a clean culture in one jar?

Hi all, is it safe to put a shrimp in this jar? It’s 3.5 litres and only has dwarf hair grass, it’s winter and I’m in UK so temperatures can fluctuate down to 15°c. I’ve had a bad hair algae bloom so the cherry shrimp can easily live off of that
