When I was in 7-8th grade I found a muddy puddle by the side of the road filled with hundreds of tiny ostracods. I filled a little container (maybe 1 1/2 inches wide by 5 inches tall, smaller than the size of my hand) with some ostracods and set it on my windowsill. 8 years later and it's still going strong today. It's survived getting shaken up and thrown around violently in multiple earthquakes, and there used to be quite a bit of cyanobacteria growing inside, but there isn't much of that left.

I wonder how many generations of ‘cods have lived there?
Do you feed them anyhow or is it still self sustainable?
