Api Leaf Zone Safe For Amano Shrimp?

[gearhead65]

I just purchased an Amano Shrimp (which is very cool, BTW) and I've read that they are sensitive to some ferts. I read that Flourish is not safe 'cause it contains Copper. I see no copper listed on the ingredient list for LeafZone, but is there something else in LeafZone to be concerned about? What other ferts are safe to use? Thanks.

meh, I use Tropica plant nutrition+ which contains copper and it doesn't effect my amano shrimp.

Simply put, yes it's safe.
All ferts will contain tiny amounts of copper. Have we ever lost a shrimp by overdosing nutrients? Nope.
Do you think Amano shrimps would be called Amano shrimps if Mr Takashi Amano kept killing them in his planted tanks?

Hmmm...good point. Thanks for the info guys. I plan to switch to Flourish when I finish off my Leaf Zone to see if my plants improve.
