    What kind of Water parameters bro?
    Temperature plays an important part in their lifespan. They breed faster and grows faster at higher temp but also dies sooner

    Bro, i think NO3 is still high.
    Add more fast growing plants to reduce it to 0.

    Nitrate of 5 is perfectly normal and should not be killing any shrimps.
    You may want to take a look at TDS. pH & temperature looks fine.
