Fertilising a shrimp tank?

[cairocks]

I have just added orange shrimps and crs into my tank. As I used to fertilize my tank with Lush gro Aqua liquid and Micros liquid fertilizers before switching to shrimps, I am wondering if it is safe to continue doing so knowing that shrimps are more sensitive to chemicals than fishes. My tank is heavily planted with moss, pelia, crypt and an amazon sword plant.

Handle with care as I would say. Try dose minimal dosage of your Lush Grow Aqua liquid and see if there is any vast effects on them. If you see them swimming around non stop, best to change at least 30% of your tank water. If not continue your dosage and increase little by little each time.

I would recommend half of the recommended dosage if u need to add fertiliser to ur tank. I used to dose according to the recommended dosage when I only have green and cherry shrimp. Now I dose half of what I used to do when I have CRS in my tank.
