    I have red plants in my shrimp tank and am new at keeping shrimp. Does dosing with Flourish Iron have any negative effects on shrimp?

    Haven't read anything about iron being harmful to shrimp, but copper is a big no-no.

    Yeah, iron won't affect your shrimp... I've dosed a lot and seen no negative impact to the shrimp.

    I know of copper, red up on shrimp on wiki, but the iron shouldn't do anything...
