Rabbit Pellets

[LondonDragon]

I have read on a German site that sells shrimp that they feed them green rabbit pellets.

After checking the contents of the Rabbit pellets on various sites they all seem to contain copper which is harmful to shrimp.

Am I missing something?

Having a quick look around it looks like green pellets have copper sulfate in them. This appears to be OK for shrimp (though I'm not sure what quantities constitute a safe level). According to what I've read, many fish foods have this in as a preservative. Elemental copper is what you want to avoid, but to be honest I'm not sure how you define it.

I'm refering to this page (search the page for copper):
