Tropica premium nutrition plant fertilizer shrimp safe

Hi all,
Tropica premium nutrition plant fertilizer shrimp safe?
It should be fine. <"shrimps + ferts (Tropica) + some fishes = any problem?"> @Mick.Dk worked for Tropica.
I have never had problems with the Tropica fertilisers in tanks containing shrimps......ex. Amano, red cherry, blue tiger.....
I dose very heavy, sometimes 10 times recomended dosage - and still never see bad reactions from the shrimp.
- so I would call it shrimp-safe, for a fertiliser.
I'd be more worried about your plants, just because it won't do much for them. <"Tropica Premium fertiliser - universal, liquid fertiliser for aquariums - Tropica Aquarium Plants">
Tropica premium nutrition plant fertilizer
Premium Nutrition without nitrogen and phosphor for aquariums with many fish- 6 mL a week per 50 L water is easily dispensed with the pump and ensures proper plant growth.
  • Contains iron, magnesium and vital micro nutrients
  • Does not contain nitrogen and phosphor
  • Suitable for aquariums with few or slow-growing plants and many fish
You would be better off with "Tropica Specialized" <"Tropica Specialised fertiliser - liquid fertiliser for planted tanks - Tropica Aquarium Plants"> if you want to stick with a branded product.

Personally? I'm not giving any money to the contestants in the <"world's most expensive water"> contest.

That is the main thing. Personally I don't add a <"set amount of fertiliser">, I use the plants as a guide of <"how much to add">.
I still have quarter bottle left from another tank and was hoping to finish using it. Thanks I will continue to dose and go in for the specialized next time.
Now you've bought it I'd definitely use it. I've been using <"Solufeed 2:1:4 and Solufeed Sodium Free TEC or Solufeed Coir TEC Combination">, but it doesn't matter where the ions come from, <"I just like cheap">.

cheers Darrel
