RCS,plants and ferts

[Icom]

I have two 10g's with RCS in them,both tanks are planted;Java Moss,Java Fern,Anubias,swords,watersprite and a couple other things. Is it safe to add ferts like Flourish, etc., to the tank without harming the cherry shrimp ? I want the plants to do well and grow,but I don't want to harm the little cherries either:confused:

I have used Flourish in my shrimp tanks with no ill effect, just be sure that whatever ferts you use doesn't have a significant amount of copper in it.

should be fine. plenty of people have done it though some still dont use it just in case.

Yup I dose flourish in my tank.

On another forum devoted to planted tanks a Seachem employee regularly posts and says it is safe. Dose to the directions. Members of that sight seem to have no issues.

well,so far I haven't noticed anything wrong with any of the shrimp.I've just been half doing Flourish and Flourish Excell. I now have 7 berried female cherry shrimp in 2 different tanks. a 10g and a 29g that I transfered all the RCS from one 10g into..

Still thinking if I should start dosing with Flourish N-P-K or not.. since I'll be adding more/different kinds of plants
