I think it is pretty common that a new introduction (fish, shrimp) gets attacked/eaten within minutes of entering the tank. Something about their confusion...they are new/interesting...they don't know where to hide or how to behave...makes them subject to attack.
Once successfully introduced into the tank, they can often last quite a while.
