Do I need to quarantine Shrimp?

Question

I seem to recall that shrimp cant carry diseases such as Ick, etc, but I dont trust my memory.

Anyone know for sure?

Answer 1

Good question. Most things that would affect shrimp will not hurt fish, but not all things. Probably, to be safe, I'd quarantine.

Answer 2

Yes.  Quarantine any living thing before adding to your aquarium, including plants.

Answer 3

It is always a good idea to quarantine anything b4 adding it to an existing ecosystem. This is especially important for feeders! Give them a week in a seperate tank, monitor them and if all is well ur in the clear.
