Weird Fish Behaviour

So I already do ~28% water change (5 gallons/18 gallons) every week.

I should maintain this, and record pH before, and every day after for a week? Am I understanding you correctly?

Also, I think my shrimp died from an un-successful shed. =[

Thank you Byron for your help. :)

You're welcome. Yes on the water change/pH testing; this will tell us the stability of the water. Keep us posted.

If I may also add... if the difference between tank water and tap water increases you will want to do smaller changes at a time and more frequently to avoid pH shock with the animals.

These results indicate a fairly stable aquarium water wise.
