Maybe if you check the water for PH swings, Ammonia, Nitrite/Nitrate, you might find the cause.
5 days may be too soon for Yamatos in a new tank.
i got 5 yamatos for my new tank too and 4 died within 2 days...
wat can i do now??!!!

yeah...i just realised that... sigh...wat a waste of lives and money due to my ignorance...
Genes, dont worry too much. If the truth is known about all of us, we each have moments when we succumb to the urge of quickly putting fishes or shrimps into the tank.
ADA's reading materials points to the 7th day when your filteration biological cultures begin to kick in sufficiently to deal with nitrite and nitrate. For a new tank, usually with softer water and CO2 injection may suffer severe PH drop. Keep monitoring your KH. You can maintain the KH around 4 by using mineral salt or baking soda. If the PH gets to 4.5, it will be life threathening for the shrimps.
Go easy and have fun nurturing your tank. It will be one of your most rewarding experience.
Yeah, guess i was too impatient too...
My last shrimp was lying on his back yesterday afternoon. limbs not moving at all except for the brain matter that was still moving. Took it out and placed in a container and top it up with the Diamond Water. Within couple of hours, its alive again! The Diamond Water revived the dying shrimp!!!
Have made a 50% water change with the Diamond Water now and introduced the last yamato back into the tank and will be keeping a close eye on him..
