Their website now says that its safe for any fish other than rays and momyrids. So it should be safe.

Not really sure about snails, but a couple of months ago I emailed Waterlife direct asking which of their products were safe to use with shrimp. Their reply is posted below:

===========================================
Myxazin,Paragon and Octozin are safe to use in the tank with the shrimp. Protozin contains copper and as such can kill some shrimp.

===========================================

Not sure if the copper also applies to snails .... my guess is that it probably does (but it is just a guess).


If in doubt you could try emailing them at info@waterlife.co.uk, they didnt take long to answer when I got in touch.

Yes it is fine with snails I have used it with an apple snail, nerite snails, MTS and pest snails and it had no apparent effect on them at all
