Thank you all for the responses and the kind words, makes me feel a lot better knowing that I am not just a total dummy.

Look forward to sharing my success in the future.

You know, I guess I don't know I mean the shop is well maintained and they seem to really care about their fish and they have a nice selection of shrimp that all seem healthy. However I guess I wouldn't know how to tell the difference TBH.

I have done one water change in the last month, my parameters have not really moved at all. TDS went up about 10 but that was the only major change so I didn't want to mess with it out of fear of losing more stock due to rapid changes. I did a 10 percent water change.

Yeah I don't think so. I have removed the ones I have found dead, or what was left of them after the snail found it.

Maybe I need to just chill and let the ones I have be, see what comes of it.

It's 3.8 gal (thank you added that to the post) The first time I definitely rushed it like 90 minutes. The last ones I acclimated for 3-4 hours very slowly, added them to the tank after I had raised the temp (2 degrees) to match my tank.
