the shrimp then have something to hold on to.. they dont swim constantly and are therefore stay much more rested....
1/2 way through the day... change out 1/2 the water and add another bottle of ice (make sure the ice is closed off.... you dont want the ice melting and lowering the salinity)
for croakers... per everyone above.. dont overcrowd em... keep the bubbler going... keep the water changed out regular.. and some ice in a bottle is not a bad idea.

What he said. I never could keep shrimp alive until I learned they need to rest. I use my cricket cage and put in my live well and keep fresh water circulating. Stay alive all day.
