Hi, yesterday I went and got 4 cherry shrimps and a bunch of vallisneria, I properly acclimated the cherry shrimp and put them in the tank. By the night time one was already on its side barely moving. Then in the morning 2 had died. Now one of my amano shrimps is freaking out, it’s gone slightly brown and is flying around the tank banging into things and shaking its legs whilst stationary. My other shrimps are all staying in one spot not doing much. My fish are completely fine. All water parameters fine!

Any help asap so I can try and save my shrimps thanks!!

Could be the plants were treated with a snail killer which sadly also kills shrimp. Always a good idea to soak plants in fresh, treated water for a few days if keeping with shrimp.
