Hi, so I bought something from a store and got a sample of AF Protein Power for Ornamental Fish. It’s tiny thinking pellets.
I tossed some into my freshwater tank yesterday and saltwater tank today. Fish loved them. Some sank to buttom.
The bamboo shrimps in the freshwater are looking terrible today. Like they have been poisoned. Laying on sides sometimes, not eating.
I checked parameters and all is fine. Pondered all day about the bamboos and only after feeding these AF pellets into my saltwater it dawned to me that these could be to blame
They have 0.056 mg copper per gram or 5,6 mg per kilo.
Have I killed all my shrimps in all tanks now?
