I want to put shrimp in my sump in the near future. Do I need to quarantine them like I would other specimens?

I have never, ever quarantined shrimp (freshwater). I don't believe they carry things the same way fish do. I'd be interested to hear an expert opinion on this though.

I never bothered qt shrimp. They are pretty frail and fragile and I figure they would b dead if they were sick. I also cant load them up on meds in QT so I figure its pointless. Shrimp in your sump is brilliant though. Ive been recommending it for years

Thanks! My search results were ambiguous and I wanted more expert opinions.
