When did you set up this tank?
How did you acclimate the shrimp? They should not die if the measured salinity, and temperature is the same and you acclimate them slowly for 6 hours (drip drip drip)
How did you do it?
What is the salinity in the tank? If it is less than 1.025 slowly increase it to 1.026. Many LFS use lower salinity.
