Shrimp in general can be sensitive but if the others are all ok i doubt it will a problem with the water.

What other tank mates are there it could be one of them picking on the smaller shrimp?

Did you acclimatise them properly? Your tank parameters might be quite different from the LFS's. Shrimps in gerneral are quite sensitive and it's better to acclimatise them using the slow drip method.
