Why FishyMag says this
The manufacturer's own wording, quoted rather than paraphrased, so you can judge it yourself.
Shrimp
CautionFritz states PraziCleanse is safe for most invertebrates, but does not name shrimp specifically. That qualified wording is not a clearance for any particular species, so it is recorded as caution rather than compatible.
“PraziCleanse is safe for use with most invertebrates.”
