My tank is cycled and just stocked with a clown fish and a goby and two turbo snails but I got one fire shrimp that didn’t make 1 day any thing I didn’t test for that would have caused that. New to salt water fish tank.

Was it from an lfs, or online?
How did you acclimate it before adding it to your tank?

Shrimp are a bit delicate and don't always handle shipping well...

Could've been a rough trip (if shipped).

Could've improper acclimation.

Could've been an unhealthy shrimp.

More details of the situation could help narrow it down. But there's really no way to know with absolute certainty.

I bought it at a local store and kept it in the bag of saltwater from the store and let it sit in my tank for a while before adding to the tank
