last night/this morning at like 2:30 i went into my room to find my little shrimpie stuck to the wall without water on him. i was wondering how he got there and figured it was an accident somehow. then i swooshed water on him because i thought he was dead. i looked away and then back and he was moving. i changed into my PJS and looked back into the little fish jar and shrimpie was gone. i was really freaked out. then i looked around and little shrimpie was stuck to the wall yet again. i realized that this had to be purposly done. i put my fish jar on my night table and went into bed with my little light on. and just sat there watching him. oh i took the plants out of his thing because i figured he had been climbing up them to get to the glass. i just lay and watched the shrimp move around for awhile. then he tried to get up on the glass.. by jumping. these little ghost shrimps jump insanely let me tell yah. i went into my old purse because i knew i found dinosaur toys there, and i figured the shrimp could use something in there to hide under. so i put a stegasaurus in. the srhimp was scared of it at first, but then swam closer and closer until he reached the steggos nose and just, stood there. then after he layed under him as if he was a rock or something. acouple minutes later the shrimp was jumping up on the glass more, trying to kill himself. it kind of amazed me how a shrimp or something of this size could know how his living conditions were, without the other shrimp he use to be with, and try to kill himself. i kept putting water over him whenever he tried. then he went back to the bottom. so i was like, fuck it. im going to bed. i woke up at 10 to see my shrimp was alive. then i went back to bed. and at 1 when i woke up, he was dead, and his stomache was empty (you can see the food because their skin is clear). he STARVED himself. i was kind of dissapointed and now im sad. all his little friends died and then he was left alone. so he killed himself.
