My yamato shrimps died, possibly about yesterday afternoon. I think they were cooked. I carelessly left their tank on the bay window about 3 days ago because I used to do that and they were fine, and the algae overgrowth from sunlight provided them food and aquatic plants' leaves gave them shelter. However, this year the leaves are quite thin and yesterday was particularly hot in the house, so... I mean, they are swamp shrimps, they survived worse water, but the heat was something they couldn't avoid. I had them for over 3 years and they died to sunlight. That's quite sad of a death.

The Chinese say that fish (probably alongside the meaning of waterkin) would die to block ills for their human. I walked outside two days without sunscreen and two shrimps died. Of sunlight. It's just so...

I better be more careful with sunlight. Not going to leave fish tanks in front of windows in this house again, at least no full direct exposure for more than 10 minutes.
