I read the faq and nothing bout shrimp and salt compatibility

In my 14 gallon I have 3 platy's, a male betta and 5 ghost shrimp. I get the sense my platy's have a mild case of ich as I see them on occasion flinging their bodies along a plant like attempting to remove an irritant.

Looking to do a salt treatment. Will these harm the ghost shrimp?

thank you

Wow this forum is getting scarce!

See my other post in the thread titled "Ich Attack". You don't need salt (it marginally helps during treatment), but with inverts I'd recommend against dosing it.
