Snails dead, but shrimp are fine.
I put the snails and shrimp in the tank about the same time, r roughly a week ago. The snails were very active, clinging to the glass and moving around surprisingly fast. Today I noticed I don't see one snail moving. (I had 10). My shrimp seem to be unaffected and ate behaving normal. Any idea what could have happened?

I got all my stuff from this website. The snails were doing great for a week. I don't know what happened. The shrimp seem very active.

Sometimes they just lay there for days, and then they are back in action. Are you quite sure they are dead?

Re: Snails dead, but shrimp are fine.
Best way is to check them at night for activity since they are largely nocturnal. Not sure if you can do that in your office, but I see maybe three during the day and about 50 running around after dark in my tanks.
