Let us know if it makes a difference. There is another thing you can try ... 100% water change. Then readjust the parameters back and reacclimating the shrimp into the tank. Being careful to not kill off beneficial bacteria - that means keeping the filter media and substrate in water the whole process. An old tank can loose all a lot of minerals, or cause a build up of a certain waste that normal water changes won't (completely) get rid off. The occasional 100% water change can bring back these lost minerals, or balance that waste product to a more reasonable levels. A full water change could also simulate fresh rainfalls for the shrimp. I do that to my tanks once a year. It also gives me the chance to rescape or replace substrate.
