A few words of advice.

1. CRS/BDS and most other shrimps, be it low grade or not, they need cooler water. I tried having yellow shrimps (cherry) in non chilled tank. They start dying at 29-30 degrees, and I realised it was the temperature.

2. Bulk release into any tank can crash the system, resulting in deaths. Buy and release in smaller quantity unless your BB can handle the load. (eg put in more fishes first... as you are releasing shrimps, remove the fishes, so the bio-load doesn't crash the system).
