Are you sure it isn't the tank? Maybe hydrogen sulfide from an anaerobic 
process in the substrate?

Do you have any idea how tolerant of nitrates these guys are? I keep 
singapore shrimp in my planted tank, but my nitrates are somewhere 
between 20-80 ppm... hard to read the color on this darn kit.

Oops, nevermind, found a site that claims 25 ppm max for cherry shrimp. 
Darn. I better get a better test kit.
