I just realized that the algae chips/wafers (Aquarian brand) that I was planning on feeding my new RCS contains copper sulfate.
I was wondering if it's safe to feed this to them since I know that copper is toxic to shrimp.....

If i remember correctly pretty much all of the algae wafers have copper sulfate... but a lot of websites recommend feeding them to the shrimp!
 
We feed our RCS Ocean Nutrition Shrimp Wafers and the occassional algae wafer and bloodworm and they are thriving we must have about 100 babies and we have only had them a few weeks.
 
I use Hikari and OSI algae wafers, no mention of copper sulfate.
 
I feed my RCS, Hikari Sinking Pellets, with the Cory on the package. They swarm over it and their anubias's leaves also provide plenty of algae to eat as well.
