Do you have to leave the shrimp in a bag to help them get used to the water temperature? As you would with fish?
 
Yes to get the use to the temp mainly, as this is best done slowly.
 
i put mine in a bucket and use airline with a clamp so i get a drop of water every second, i do this for 2 hours and then release into the tank
 
Personally ive done the same as i do with my fish over a period of no more than 30 minutes!
Thats put the bag into my tank, in order for the temperature to equalize, and then some of my water every ten minutes.
Ive done this with cherry shrimp, green singapore shrimp, black crystal and red crystal and every single one is fine!
I suppose it matters on the parameters of your water and that of the LFS, but provided your parameters are perfect i think they'd be fine!
