Flourish Excel and inverts...

[Kyle Lambert]

so i have a few cherry shrimps and assasins snails in my tank and i was contemplating dosing flourish excel to my tank to give plant growth a big spurt. Is it toxic to the inverts i have in there? or am i ok to go ahead and dose it anyway? I know i cant use liquid fertilizers because of the copper content.

Hi im pretty sure your ok at the normal amounts recommended on the bottle with all Fish/Shrimp. also EI and other well known branded ferts are fine with fish/shrimp too i thought?

cheers

lol no problem mate.. im 100% sure that both are fine as long as you have the right amounts

Excel is fine but may slow reproduction. Most aquarium ferts are also invert friendly, dry salts, APF liquid ferts and tropica ferts certainly.
