    Anything might die if your water is not cycled yet. Getting something 'hardy' only means that if it doesn't die it will probably have long term damage. Shrimp and other invertebrates like that are apparently very sensitive to poor water quality. Maybe a couple hermit crabs and snails of some sort would work out. I'm sure someone else will give you a more complete answer.

    Good luck!
