Bro, the Seachem Trace had nothing to do with the death of your newly purchase shrimps. Very likely the death is cause by the change of water. You should have change it yesterday or a day after you put in the shrimps. If i am not wrong, Kent Marine too contain copper too. Look and compare the two brand ingredient. Are you using Sea water or mixed salt?
