Well after a bad molt my bamboo shrimp died, also the water was a high ph and i read bambo shrimp like a lower one so i guess that didnt help.
My next shrimp will be cherrys and i will be getting some as soon as my local fish shop get them in.
So hopefully i can keep these alive and well.

Guppies stress out bamaboos and this leads to death, even though the guppies don't really hurt them.

guppy is not a good tank mate for cherry
specially if you want the cherry reproduce.

Oh great, now i will need a new plan... i really want cherrys in the tank where the guppys are but the only other posibility would be to put guppys in the tank with my redclaw cray but divide it so they cant get to him and he cant get to them if you know what i mean.
I will try sort something out, thanks for the help guys.
