Babyb, somebody has already fed fish mysis shrimp and we know what happens, just like someone has already put the guppis in the jar to see what happened, the shrimp die, the guppis.. might die.
pappa d, what are the EXACT regulations to this experiemnet, can the jar be sealed, then can you just drill holes in it?
O2 comes in different levels of purity for different purposes.
The most pure is Aviators Breathing Oxygen (ABO), it contains the lowest content of other gasses because it must be used at high altitudes where concentration and mental alertness can mean the difference between life and death, because of this avaitors must be able to think clearly when flying, if this O2 contained even trace elements of other gasses the expansion ratio of these contaminant gasses and the physiological effects could cause all kinds of problems if breathed. It's also controlled and delivered with a low moisture content to prevent icing at higher altitudes. This is not what you breath when the funny yellow masks drop down. This grade is used primarily for military applications. To maintain purity, special programs and tools are required.
Medical grade is next, there are a few types here but I wont go into it because it would probably bore you. Easy to obtain.
Industrial grade is next, this type of gaseous O2 is generally used in welding applications such as Oxy/Acetelene. Easiest to obtain.
LOX is the liquid type, -297F. 862 to 1 expansion ratio and highly supportive of combustion because of this. Very important to keep away from hydrocarbons such as oil, it will burst into flames and burn violently. LOX is a cryogenic liquid requires special handling and storage.
