Update! Day one after the emergency 95% water change yesterday, the little buddies are doing well. I don't see anymore dead and most of the shrimp are red and very active! I can't thank Mustafa and everyone else that commented to help me figure this out. I can't wait to order more shrimp for my tank...

I'll make sure to leave just enough for them to swim around a bit. Hoping no more die. I will be grabbing out the moss today as well so there will be no more live plants in the tank.

Helpful thanks
