Will praziquantel, Dflubenzuron, Metronidazole and Acriflavin kill Amano shrimp and other types of freshwater shrimp?

Also, will antibiotics like Furan 2 kill them?


I ask because I am starting a new planted tank in my hatchery and once I finish getting all the plants and shrimp, I want to treat everything with those products I listed above to clean them out.
 
Acriflavin will definitely kill them. Diflubenzuron is an insecticide and very toxic to shrimp, as well. I would not use Furan 2 with inverts, either
Prazi and Metro are generally considered shrimp friendly..
