shoutout to @pokemondashmaster for being my #1 fan!! henlo, its glisty ! have i ever told you about my backstory ? welp i guess no. !! signs of shrimp cruelty in story warning !! ookie, here goes my mother lived in a fish store, but nobody got her. one day she got pregnant and had me, along with 8 other shrimp babiis ! i was the last to come out, and was the weakest. i couldnt swim freely the moment i was born, unlike my siblings. it took me 5 tries to learn how to swim to the top of the tank. now @rainbowcherry1212, was a v/ special person who would always go there and buy something. bc she went ther so often she would often get free fish food and stuff. lol and she absolutely loved the place. and i luv her also ya know how heroic she is ?? one day while on the beach in search of animals in tide pools for her saltwater tank, she found (guess what?) a lionfish !! yes, im not lying. a lionfish, apparently dead. it was floating upside down with its stomach like a balloon. many others were crowded around it, and talking among themselves. glacier bent down and touched the lionfish, and some other passer-by asked 'is is dead ?' glacier touched it lightly and held it up. its gills were moving. 'no its not' she replied. 'its bc some stupid fishermen just tried to fish for it, and when a fish goes from way under the water to above the surface, air goes into its belly and it expands. as a result the lionfish cannot swim properly due to it being upside down.' she poked a hole in its stomach and pumped the air out, as a result the lionfish became docile towards her and became a member of her 2000 gallon tank !! (this is in florida btw, they allow lionfish) arrite back to the story. all my siblings were sold, and my mother died. me, being the smollest, was left there with a few other species of shrimp. no one wanted me, i was sad, and every time i saw a customer walk into the store i would watch quietly as they bought some other fish or shrimp, but never me. the customers would shake my tank bc they didnt like me. one time i lost a claw, and nobody helped, it took 2 months to grow back. i was so depressed in my small and murky tank, i desperately wanted to leave it more than ever. until one day glacier came and said she was looking for a ghost shrimp !! i was so excited, but remembering the past incidents of others wanting a ghost shrimp, seeing me and walking out of the store i suddenly had no confidence. she picked a rare albino parrotfish, 3 clownfish, walked up the freshwater aisle, take a few jellyfish, and saw my tank. she saw me and said, 'aww hes so coot ! i want the smol bean' and we happily went home where i got accustomed to the tank. while i was in the plastic bag 3 other ghost shrimps saw me and tried to cut the plastic bag and 'free' me. shrimp are kinda dumb lol. we were like whats going on ?? who is this ?! after 45 mins glacier cut the plastic bag and released me into the aquarium. me and the other shrimp became instant besties ! we would crowd together searching for food and climb rocks together, its freakin adorabol after a while glacier and her brothers decided to name us ! originally she wanted to name me glassy since the strip on my back looks like a piece of glass, but my other owner (her bro) wanted to name me misty, bc the other parts of my body was misty lol, so they combined, and got glisty ! (what shall they name the others ? drop a comment below !) glacier fed me food everyday and made sure i had the correct ph level and stuff, i was growing and was no longer so smol. i still live in this wonderful tank to this very day. i am so grateful to all my owners for taking gud care of me and making sure i dont climb into the filter, iltsm !! i have made a lotta frens, both fish, shrimp, and snail. i cannot thank glacier enough ! ty for reading this, i hope you like it !! glisty out...
