Why FishyMag says this

The manufacturer's own wording, quoted rather than paraphrased, so you can judge it yourself.

Shrimp

Live plants

Caution

Cleared, but with a cosmetic caveat the manufacturer attaches to its own yes: some species may yellow temporarily.

Biological filter

Caution

Fritz does not forbid it, but tells keepers to monitor water quality and re-seed nitrifying bacteria afterwards — which implies the course sets the filter back.

Contains minocycline, with a source-linked caution associated with this group. This raises a flag—it is not the basis of the verdict above.

“Always monitor water quality and re-dose FritzZyme after treatment to restore biological filtration”

FishyMag reports what manufacturers say, quoted and linked. It does not diagnose illness or recommend a treatment, and it never infers that a product is safe from the absence of a warning — where no statement exists, it says so.
