What Ferts For Cherry Shrimp Tank?

[Rob5]

I am still deciding on which tank for my cherry shrimp only set up
 
I am obviously going add live plants but was wondering which ferts everyone uses in their cherry shrimp tanks?
 
just something that i am pricing up for the set up cost

Hi Rob,
 
I used to use Flourish, Flourish Excel and Trace (all Seachem products) on my Cherry Shrimp tanks and saw some good results, and if memory serves it wasn't too harsh on the wallet either with it only being a small tank. Just be wary I think Flourish has traces of copper in it, so be careful with your doses as too much can kill your shrimp.

Hope that helps,
 
James.

Thanks for that info James, much appreciated
 
It is the copper content that I am worried about
