Caprichoso Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hiya, I have never put fertilizer in my shrimp tank before and want to know if it's safe for my Amano and Cherry shrimps. I have Java fern and Java Moss in there right now and the Java fern isn't growing like it used to. I have Seachem Flourish(liquid) but only want to use it if it's safe for the shrimp. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaFishMommy Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 i agree with Jason, dosing ferts is safe with shrimp. just don't go over the recommended dosage for the tank size to be on the safe side. i regularly dose flourish in a 2.5 gallon with little green shrimp in it and they are all thriving and breeding.

Okotoks Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Most ferts are fine, but be sure to read the label and ensure that the copper levels in the fert are not too high. Copper in high doses will kill your shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
