I was just about to mention this when I ran across your problem. I totally agree with not using stainless steel in shrimp tanks because it is as dangerous as copper. I used a coat hanger ( composition is stainless steel ) straightened to level out gravel and your above symptoms resulted in over 8 deaths. Water changes seemed to remedy the problem but remember not to use such metals due to their toxicity to shrimps.
