wonder shells safe for shrimp?

[destah]

I am new to the shrimp world....have had some big problems keeping the little buggers alive, but am now successful. Have 2 tanks with a number of happy little cherries, some saddled, some berried. Both tanks have lots of snails, as well (one has nerites, japanese trapdoor and mts, other has about 12 rabbit snails). I would like to put wonder shells in these, tanks, as I am sure it would be very beneficial to the snails...and I *think* it would be good for the shrimp....but will only do so if others have done so and not killed their shrimp, lol. I am amazed at how sensitive they are, and wanted to be sure before I added any. Or, if I am wrong and the shells wouldn't benefit either snails/shrimp, then it would be just silly to put them, so any advice would be great!
Thanks!

You should check out this thread where we discussed it recently.

I think the consensus is that WS are safe with shrimp but if this is their first exposure, start SMALL.

Ha! that is my own thread, lol. I had check on it some time ago, and there was nothing new added when I had inquired about them, I should have checked it before starting this one...my bad. I will take a tiny chunk of a medium and add it in.
