Do you need to quarantine cherry shrimp?

Hi! I’m just wondering if and you need to quarantine new cherry shrimp. If so how? What size aquarium to quarantine if needed?

https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/faqs/do-i-need-to-quarantine-shrimp-and-snails  Dwarf shrimp can sometimes carry diseases, especially if purchased directly from importers, so if you are bringing in a batch to add to an existing colony, consider putting them in quarantine first to observe their condition.

Thanks!!!

These would be my first shrimp so not into an existing colony of shrimp. I do have neon tetras, guppies, and mystery snails though.

Should I still quarantine?

I fish is more likely to catch a disease from a human than a shrimp
