When to add shrimp to newly planted tank?

[JPW003]

Hi all

I've recently (Sunday) planted up my second 12g tank with lots of fast and slow growing plants. The fast ones are already showing growth signs.
I've got the white fuzzy stuff developing on my driftwood which I understand will go away on its own.

I want this tank to be a dedicated RCS tank and wondering when to add them and if they would eat this stuff that is growing on the driftwood? Or, as originally intended, leave it for a couple of months before adding any shrimp so that the tank is somewhat established and potentially better suited for the shirmp.

0,0, 20ppm for Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate with a 6.8pH and 5 gH.

Thanks in advance.

Nitrate are too high. Do water change to reduce it. You can add your shrimp at this point just make sure you acclimated the shrimp the right way
Drip method is the best for shrimp. Good luck !
