shrimp
Acclimation is very hard with these.My friend said he bought 30 of them and they never lived more then a day.How did you acclimate them.He said the lady said just float them a half hour then dump them in tank.You have to take your time with these.I will take at least 1 hour adding water to the bag slowly.They are very hardy once they are in your tank.You dont half to float if your acclimating slowly as this is added stress they dont need

Its your salinity. Shrimp require a higher salinity of approximately 1.024 to survive. You may want to consider slowly raising your salinity to a more appropriate level.

salinity
I agree with Catherine, your salinity is way too low. Slowly over 2-4 weeks, bring it up to .24. .19 is way too low. Salmon Kings advice is on the money as well, slow acclimatation procedures for shrimp is a must.
Cheers, Phil
