Copper vs Copper Phosphate in food

[J2FcM]

Just wondering about this because I have shrimp pellets that contain Copper Phosphate as one of the end ingredients, and my Damsel dropped the pellet and Motoko (Smithii) jumped out and snatched it...

This was weeks ago and no ill effect has happened that I can see... but would it be a bad idea to feed Motoko the shrimp pellets?

mantids will eat pretty much anything, including shrimp pellets. that said, the pellets really aren't the best thing for em. nutritionally lacking. personally, I stick to marine fleshy meat and cycle between a few.

I don't imagine the copper phosphate would be of concern, but im really not sure. maybe someone who knows better will chime in.
