Blood shrimp from swf.com

Is it ok to add these guys to a newly cycled tank? So far I have a small cleanup crew of 22 turbos, 12 red legged hermits, & 5 scarlet hermits. No fish in there yet..... ordering some from swf.com same time as shrimp. ( all in 120gal 1 week after cycling & water change )
Thanks,
Kyle

I would personally hold off.
Blood shrimp are one of the more delicate shrimp and I myself waited about two months after the cycle before adding one. Same deal with cleaner shrimp and the like.

I would hold off on any shrimp untill like RyeBeard said about teo months, they are pretty sensitave.

Another vote on holding off, how about a nice Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp?
