I have Cholla in the tank and almond leaf

You water parameters are not anything to be concerned about. However, if you are still loosing shrimp with no sign of disease, maybe reduce GH a little to 5-6. Your shrimp might be having a hard time moulting, if they were raised in softer water. <edit> - do you have Cholla in your tank?

Hi Tom, Calcium Chloride will increase pH and KH. That means it will only be good for Neocaridina shrimp. As long as you use sulphate ingredients for the other minerals. I wouldn't use this Hagen conditioner for shrimp. This one is only for African cichlid fish. As you can see from the ingredient list, "Chloride" has been used extensively. This will mean that KH, GH and pH will be way too high for shrimp. Unless you are keeping Sulawesi shrimp. Where are you from? Calcium sulphate and Magnesium sulphate are usually very easy to source. It's fertiliser. Most places that sell fertiliser will have it. Magnesium sulphate is also known as Epsom salt. Are you using this remineraliser for RO or rain water? Anyway, good luck with your quest of finding the ingredients for a remineralising mix.

Update: So I've seen a few babies but I am losing shrimp every couple weeks. I had 9 and am down to 6 but counted 5 babies this am. Also noticed that one or two of my females appears to have Scutariella (thanks for the post on parasites). Ordered Genchem no planaria today off Amazon to treat the problem. Water parameters are steady with pH of 7.6, gh 6.5, kh 3.7, TDS 169 and no ammonia, nitrate or nitrite. Those water parameters have held steady since mid Feb.
