Ya... Good thing they are cheap... What temperature is the tank they are in??? I do not see any other reason why they would die so suddenly...

I bought them to see if they would survive in my con tank to keep the plants clean. My original plan was crystal red shrimp but wasnt willing to buy them without testing my theory.

Do you mean convicts,I would think they would go after any type of small shrimp you put in with them.

despite what a lot of people think/experience shrimp are delicate creatures..... nitrates over 40 can and will kill them.. exposure to copper and other heavy metals.. ect... more touchy then snails.. and if they wheren't cared for at the lfs they may have been "dead" before they left the lfs.
