How long has the tank been set up?
 
I do not know the answer to your question, What I am doing is getting some information so that the next member who reads wont have to ask and wait for a reply.

The tank has been setup for 3 years with no deaths for at least 7 months

My shrimp often sit at the top edges. I suspect it's got a lot to do with algae growth, particularly where the water level drops with evaporation, they love to get up to the edges after refilling the tank, as I suspect there's food there that they can't access at other times.
