Ghost shrimp keep dieing off

Ok i started with 10 ghost shrimp in my 250l tank and one by one they just started to die off. I dont think they faught over hiding places as there was no signs of struggle. I just find them in a curled up position on the floor and they turn pink/white ( which is natural i think). I do care that they're dieing as i heard this has somthing to do with my water, but i also have 20-30 guppies in there and they are going great, even started mating and ontop of that i have 2 mystery snails and 30 little babies, so i msut be doing something right. My axolotl doesnt mind, i just feed him the dead shrimp, but im starting to wonder why they die. Only the big ones are left alive. The water quality is great the only thing is that nitrite is at 0.25, but i dont think thats a problem. I also feed my shrimp axolotl pellets. I drop them from the top, they scurry along and start grazing them. ome one help please.
 
Invertebrates like shrimp are typically very sensitive to nitrite.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
