Always quaranteen new arrivals at least 3 weeks. They may look healthy in the store but the next adjustment will be to your water. Sometimes they don't adjust that fast and need help. If they are carrying an internal parasite you have plenty of time to treat and not spread it to your main aquarium.
So, shrimp should be QT first? Or, are you talking about QT'ing the fish first? I do have my corys that I just bough yesterday in the QT tank right now....hmmmm.

kimo has fishy dreams
The shrimp are about the only things you don't have to quaranteen. I even Q my plants sometimes.
