Hi AA I was wondering what root tabs that do not contain copper I have a shrimp tank with Amazon and do not want my shrimps to die thanks
 
None of the ferts have enough copper in them to kill shrimp unless you would grossly overdose. Plus shrimp need a minute amount of copper. They use copper like our bodies use iron. There is such a tiny amount in ferts it's in no way dangerous to shrimp.

+1. Also, chelated copper, which is generally what is used in root tabs, is not harmful to inverts at all I believe. If it is harmful, it is at least MUCH less toxic than non-chelated copper. Bottom line is, you should be fine.
