    oops... laban, i'm sorry if we "scared you off" . but it may not be that bad.
    just asking you to take precaution, but please don't regret.
    perhaps our judgement could be wrong too, we don't know for sure.
    they are marketed as white shrimps, right?

    as you bought them as pets, i hope that you continue to keep them as pets , just in a separate tank. (or... put up for adoption to some willing party.)
    do monitor and update us on how they are doing, perhaps you could prove us wrong.

    as for their red poop, please do check again. maybe you fed them some red coloured food.

    laban,

    Could you try this out when you encounter anymore dead?
    Take a toothpick and try to poke on the cotton-like body. Would they feel more harder than non cotton-like portion, more like a hard sponge?

    If yes, then this is more or less confirmed to be parasite infection.

    yup i poke it... is not hard... it's soft as normal dead shrimp. maybe one of the reason for the death is water change.
