If you find a small animal like a shrimp inside an ecosphere jar (for those who don’t know, basically like an ecosystem in a jar), should I mark it as wild or captive/cultivated?

Captive/cultivated. The ecosphere was created and stocked by a human, and thus the shrimp did not get there by itself.

Captive. The shrimp inside got there thanks to a human so, accordind to the description of the captive/cultivated status, it neans that the shrimp is, and should be marked as captive.
