Do I Need To Quarantine Shrimp?

Just as the title says.

I just bought 4 bamboo shrimp and currently have them in my 20G quarantine tank. Due to an order of angles that should be arriving next week I really need the quarantine tank for them.
I would like to go ahead and put the shrimp in my planted 65g but don't want to risk passing any disease or parasites along to the fish and nerites that are already in the 65g.

Just wondering if any of you have any suggestions?

 

IMO it's a tough call, because common guidance says yes always quarantine but Shrimp can get stressed with changes in water so if your quarantine tank is identical to your 65 tank. I would say yes do it. If there are differences I might roll the dice and just add them... sorry for not having a more definitive answer

Water is identical in both tanks. New fish should be here Tuesday unless weather delays shipping again. I will hold them in quarantine as long as possible. Just depends on when the new arrivals show up.

 

Have you ever had problem with your fish supplier sending out sick fish before? Truth be told I have never quarantined any of my fish but then I know my LFS and seem to keep a pretty clean setup.. I know the risk but it is what it is...

 

I've never QTed shrimp - there are very few things that the shrimp can give snails or fish (in the hobby - not necessarily the case in the wild!).

I have never had any trouble with fish from my LFS, however these shrimp were ordered on line, so I am just being cautious.
