Did you get them acclimated to the water? If the bag they were in was cold and the water you put them in was warmer than the bag, it would have totally shocked them...(or if the bag was cold and water warm)
That was my first thought5.5 fw fluval chi - class N top bar snake chested endlers/ red marble bn/ 4 stripe RCS/ pumpkin shrimp
20 sw cube - a few damsels and a colony of bristleworms
29 fw - self cloning crayfish..which can't seem to clone haha
29 fw - mollies / albino bristlenose / ghost shrimp and snowball shrimp/ glo danios
29 fw - crs/ amano/tiger shrimp /assassins/ whiptails/ plants/ 3 emerald cories
55 fw - steatocranus casaurius (20ish)/ tetras/ rainbows/large Jack Dempsey
75 fw - large Jack Dempseys / pictus cat/ yoyo loach/ Red gippicep/ 10+" oscar/ parrot

Well now that you mention it. I did not acclimated them. I bought them at 5 at pet city and as soon as the new water was in the tank i placed them in. I forgot to let them aclimated. I did noticed as soon as they were there they acted like they owned the tank. Moving like crazy, cleaning, and swiming. Came home from the movies all all were dead but 1 but it dies shortly after that. Good thing they were not rcs. Or any other.
All my other fish are fine.75g Tank,

This is a separate (new) tank right? Did you put dechlorinator in the water? Being all white sounds suspiciously like chlorine bleaching.
EDIT: Oops, looks like this was a stupid question.DOWNSTAIRS display tanks:

37g - 3 Zebra Danios, 5 Red Serpae Tetras, Dwarf Flame Gourami and Red Tail Shark

There isnt such a stupid question.
I did a 50% water change to the main tank. And yes i did add the dechlorinator. I think i added alittle more than needed but fish are great. The shrimp were all white instead os clear. And they were everywhere dead. Thats why i dont think my fish killed them cuz they would had eaten them instead.75g Tank,

No, it was not cold. I added warmed water and the thermometer said it was about 81f but imsure the water in the bag was cold as they had been on it for at least 1hr.75g Tank,

i think the clounding is likely just what happens when they die, any ghost shrimp or white pearls that i have lost have clouded up. i have never had and "ghosts" live very long no matter what the condition of the tank that i put them in or how i acclimated them, i wonder if they keep them in a special condition at the pet store? Hard water with a little salt added maybe? Going from that to water lower in pH and hardness would stress them enough. maybe you could call the store you bought them from and ask about the water parameters.75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish

i am willing to bet that they raise them in brackish water. i did have one last about a week and that one actually turned crystal clear after a while. i am betting that had something to do with the water he was raised in.75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish
