Cherry Shrimp Help

[MermaidMel]

I was posted 9 today. 2 were dead. the other 7 are pretty lifeless. I think they are alive but they ain't moving. I am seeing some occasional flickers of legs or something but they haven't moved in hours except the smallest one who is male has made his way across the tank. They have their water at room temp 24 and it's all new, dechlorinated water. Sand substrate, slate caves and moss ball and java moss. I know how to take care of shrimplings, I am just worried about them - do they not travel well or something?

they travel fine mel, if they are packed right, ive sent dozens and not had one single death so far (fingers crossed) posted 30 yesterday these are ghost shrimps by the way but just the same. Ive had two lot of cherrys posted to me and again not a single failure so i can only assume they were maybe caught and packed up prior to being posted, i would complain and take some pics of them offer to post them back, di

Really weird. 9 were sent. 2 were dead. 5 died overnight. 1 died today. 1 left. Water stats are fine, no tank mates at all. Temp is room temp at the mo of 24.
