I just bought a cleaner shrimp this afternoon, for something to watch.
*
I got home and temp acclimated him, and before I could set up the drip method, he died. Dead. Gone. $27.50 burnt up and still in the bag. So, I called the LFS and they closed at 4 today, so I left a message about it. I put him in my tank, just in case there is some chance he might still be alive. What could have killed him so quick? Who's fault is it?

I've never lost a shrimp and usually pretty bullet proof IME.

The shrimp never touched my water. It died in the bag. Any thoughts?

If it never even made out to your tank Id definitely take out up with the LFS!
