So, is it the nitrogen that kills them all eventually?

if there is a healthy nitrogen cycle then no, I have one of the spheres like in OPs picture, one of right actually, it's about 3 years old, originally had 4 shrimp (i made sure to pick a sphere with lots of shrimp, in hindsight it was a bad idea) and 3 died after a month, now i'm down to 1 shrimp that's about 3 years old, the tiny biosphere wasn't big enough to support all 4

they're sealed in the factory so I have no idea how to make one

Biosphere 2 had a bunch of old ass glass ecospheres displayed in their lobby. Some dated back to the 1960s or 70s. They didn't have shrimp in them, but at least they can successfully cycle nutrients.

Sagan's version: If you're in charge of a little world like this, and you conscientiously concern yourself about its temperature and light levels, then - whatever you may have had in mind at the beginning - eventually you care about who's in there. If they're sick or dying, though, you can't do much to save them. In certain ways, you're much more powerful than they, but they do things - like breathing water - that you can't. You're limited, painfully limited. You even wonder if it's cruel to put them in this crystal prison.

But you reassure yourself that at least here they are safe from whales and oil slicks and cocktail sauce.

God's version: If you're in charge of a little world like this, and you conscientiously concern yourself about its wars and natural disasters, then - whatever you may have had in mind at the beginning - eventually you care about who's in there. If they're sick or dying, though, you can't do much to save them. In certain ways, you're much more powerful than they, but they do things - like finding love - that you can't. You're limited, painfully limited. You even wonder if it's cruel to put them in this terrestrial prison.

But you reassure yourself that at least here they are safe from black holes and space demons and Vogon poetry.
