What you need
  • Separate 10 or 20 gallon tank
  • PVC pipes for the fish to swim in and out of
  • Heater
  • Bubbler
  • Filter
  • Correct meds
Mjrenz anything I missed?
A small powerhead for surface agitation and a lid of some type like egg crate to allow for for gas exchange and to prevent jumping is a good idea

Tell your house sitter to remove any dead fish asap - or you will have a self-fulfilling prophecy - and sympathies.

Coral Banded shrimps are like crabs, at least in the sense that they are opportunistic. Some people have no issue, but I've never had one that didn't eventually start going after fish. I've watched them grab ahold of perfectly healthy fish. So, even in my larger tanks, they are eventually banished. I'll never put one in a community tank again and I'd NEVER trust one in a small tank.

That said: It sounds like you might have more than one issue going on.
