MANUFACTURER QUESTION BRIEF — API PIMAFIX

Database market: US. Record checked: 2026-08-16.

My bottle / market / label revision: Not supplied — check the bottle before relying on this record.

Other products already used: Not supplied; no combination assessment has been made.

Shrimp: Caution
API makes a general invertebrate claim, but every example it gives is a sessile reef animal and the sentence is framed around reef aquariums. Freshwater shrimp are not named. The claim is real and worth weighing — it is simply not the unambiguous shrimp clearance it is often quoted as.

Biological filter: Manufacturer states compatible
API states PIMAFIX will not harm the biological filter.
