I was looking online at some of the products for plants by Seachem and some of them have trace amounts of copper. ow I know that copper can kill inverts and I have mystery snails and ghost shrimp. Would the little of copper that's in these products harm them?

The liquid flourish has 0.0001% copper and the flourish tablets have 0.001% copper. These products are on the Drs. Foster & Smith website.

I know that's not a lot of copper but I'd rather be safe than sorry because I love my snails and I don't want to harm them.

I don't know anything about Seachem Flourish, but you can try API Leaf Zone. I have a bottle and it doesn't contain any copper.

That small of an amount of copper wont hurt the shrimp or snails. Plants and fish actually need small amounts of copper to live. I use this product every few days and I have more snails than I know what to do with.

Ditto that.

I've even used the Flourish root tabs with malaysian trumpet snails. The tabs have more copper than the liquid version and that type of snail digs through the substrate where it's all concentrated at, and even that trace amount of copper wasn't enough to cause problems.

ok great thank you. I didn't think it would hurt them, just wanted to make sure though.
