What shrimp did you get? I floated the bag for 20 mins then gradually mixed some of my tank water with it, then released it. Have you checked your water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph?
When I introduce shrimp and inverts, I'll pour the bag water into a large Tupperware container, then using a small piece of air line tubing with a valve I would drip my tank water into the Tupperware until the container is full or 25 min. It works great, no losses. Try it out.
I have also had a electric blue hermit crab for about 2 weeks, was very active but now just seems to stay in the same place, it is still very alive just not active, any ideas?
Could simply be molting. Sometimes they have a difficult time shedding. I tossed an old molt 1 time thinking the crab had died. U can imagine my surprise when I found my crab in the tank alive and well. The molted shell looked exactly like the crab. That might be what ur mistaking for the crab
