Old Stagnate Tank

A friend of mines 75 gallon has been sitting for about 6 months. Somehow his cleaner shrimp
and a bunch of snails are still alive and kicking. Anyway, if I move them from his stagnate tank to my tank do I need to worry about disease or anything coming with them. I know fish can get ich obviously but can a shrimp or a snail get something that I should worry about introducing into my tank? I know I'm going to get yelled at but no I don't have a QT tank. My 55 has only been running for a few months and I need a bigger clean up crew. So I figured I could take this stuff and save its life while saving me money. Thanks for the help.
