      Medicines: Your best bet might be to simply wait it out. It could be that
there are several things going on, and it could be that a parasite is not to
blame (the angelfish would not have died from Ich). You can't really treat for
Ich or Velvet without hurting your shrimp. So maybe you can keep an eye on what
fish you have and move them out to another tank if they appear sick, to
medicate them there.
Maracyn is not much good for Ich. You might see if you can find an Ich
treatment that is based on Quinine Hydrochloride or Quinine Sulfate.
       I wouldn't call it the tank of death. It might turn out that the 5
bronze corys, 4 adult serpae tetras, talking catfish, bamboo shrimp, rainbow
shrimp, ghost shrimps, and fiddler crabs are quite happy. Whenever we go for
awhile adding new types of fish we eventually bring home some sick ones.

      You might think about backing off on the CO2 until the fish stop dying a
little.
