A monthHow long has the tank been cycled?
I let them sit in there bag for a hour and than put them in snd they seemed fine but now since i added water they just frozeWelcome to R2R!
Did you acclimate them well? They can be sensitive to certain parameter swings. If they are just in the same place kind of swaying back and forth, it's just what they do
They are just sitting there and im worried they died i am not sure what to doWelcome to R2R!

I have one clown i have one peppermint shrimp,3 emerald crabs,3 bumble snails,5 other snails and 4 coralHave you checked your parameters? Anything else living in the tank?
Sometimes it's best to just let things happen on its own.
How big is the tank and how much water was added?
Its 32 gallon and i added like a gallon or 2Sometimes it's best to just let things happen on its own.

A ph what?That's a lot of top off. Maybe a ph swing from it.
Like when i moved them earlier they werent standing aroundIf they are dead they will normally be blown around or on their side, sounds as they have had a shock and are trying to recover, I would leave them alone, if they are going to make it there is nothing you can do now once they are in the tank, in future shrimps needs a good slow acclimation.
Also if they are dead the cuc/craps will start to eat them so again they may not be, but I will be prepared for them not making it as shrimps are very delicate to changes in salinity etc.
It won’t to the adding of the water that has caused the issue, most likely it was the lack of acclimation.
They're suggesting that pH level may have moved a bit from what it was at previously when the shrimp first entered the tank.A ph what?
