I have tryed to keep shrimp so many times, s=and failed so my guess now is that i am not acclimating them right, so my question is that is there a good method of acclimating shrimp?

What method had you been using?
I placed my shrimp into a large bowl in the water they came in with a bunch of moss. Like what was mentioned in the other thread I then used a length of soft co2 tubing with a loose knot tied in it and got the water running down the tube into the bowl from my tank, I waited until the bowl was majority my tank water, then netted them out and placed them into the tank. Took me about half hour to acclimatize my cherries. Buying local would help a lot I would say. This was my 1st attempt and I didn't have any losses out of all 8 .
Also are you sure your fighters are not having shrimp cuisine? Are you dosing anything into the water column that might contain copper? I believe Atison Betta spa contains a small amount.
