minus-squaredodgy_bagellinkfedilinkarrow-up13·27 days agoLike bleach, acid, alcohol, and fire: Copper is pretty good at killing things. We happen to be bigger things than most, so we have more resistance to it, but we’re not immune. I test my aquarium for copper fairly frequently because it i something that can kill my shrimp in small doses. They sell copper nails that can poison a tree.
minus-squareNegativeInf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·27 days agoI should get a better aquarium testing kit. I only ever check ph on the regular.
minus-squaredodgy_bagellinkfedilinkarrow-up3·27 days agoHonestly, in a stable tank with a solid ecosystem and no chemicals you shouldn’t need to test anything, usually. I just got the shrimp, and they’re especially sensitive to water parameters. I’m being cautious.

A while ago I used to fear copper too only because I once dosed a fertilizer with it and all my shrimp started to turn black. When I put them in new water it saved them though.
