I might have the chance to acquire a vampire shrimp from a friend

...the stench when I netted it out of its original tank was unbearable.
I'm actually worried it had some sickness when I put it in. In hindsight I took him from a friend (I use that term loosely) the tank was dirty as you can imagine and the stench when I netted it out of its original tank was unbearable. Is there any precaution I should take to make sure the rest of the aquarium will stay healthy

Sorry to hear about this ... I'm also thinking of getting one in a week or two. I have two bamboo and they are fearless ... Can't be bothered to hide in a tank of barbs.
I am going to do 50% a day pwc for at least a week or so. They are amazing looking and if you can find one I say go for it!!!
Everyone told me my ghost shrimp and frogs would hide all the time, that's the furthest thing from the truth they are always out swimming around the tank
