Try Frozen Mysis, mine 4 SH preferred Mysis, but sometimes i feed them
brine then they also chin chye. Slowly don't feed for a day then only frozen
brine, they ar hungry then will eat the frozen one, be patience.

Ja i had the same problem, the 1st time i bought those shrimps.
the whole house stunk when the shrimps dies.
Then the nex time, feed the life and take the rest out and freeze them
with Garlic and wat ever vita stuff in a small container then feed
later frozen to the SH, maybe u can also leave one more live feeding
before freezing them
