Why FishyMag says this

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

Shrimp

Manufacturer states compatible

Fritz states the product is safe for invertebrates. Worth noting alongside API General Cure, which uses the same two actives but makes no invertebrate claim at all — the difference is what the manufacturer is willing to state, not the chemistry.

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.

Formulations change. Always read the label on the bottle in your hand, and contact the manufacturer if your tank contains anything valuable or unusual.
