Any shrimp-friendly fertilizers?

Do you use fertilizers for the plants in your tank?
I read most fertilizers have iron, copper etc that will kill shrimps. Are there any shrimp-friendly fertilizers that could be used to dose into the tank?

I think all ferts have this contents since all plants require them to grow. However, I have been using Wondergro micro and macro for my 36cm tank(5 drops of each daily)and all my grade S crs seems ok with it. I guess as long as the doseage is low it should be ok? Though usually it is not reccomended to do planted with shrimps

Oh btw...the brandborneowild has ferts which claims to be shrimp safe. Check the link below
