of water, oxygen and a dead plant with which to feed on. (They are
definitely eye-catching.)


I honestly don't think shrimp have enough of a nervous system to
perceive confinement. The shrimp probably notice lack of oxygen or
food, but those are apparantly not lacking or they wouldn't live for
over a year.


I wonder if they notice nothing is trying to eat them?
