Turtle sticks have alot of calcium stuff in there to make their shells harder...i was wondering if i can put a few of these sticks into my tank with a few swordtails?? They are basically reptile sticks, is it ok if the fish eat these sticks??

What does this question have to do with shrimp?

lol i must have forgot i want these turtle sticks for the ghost shrimps since i have nothing in there to supply them with calcium...these sticks have all kinds of calcium. I want to know if its ok for ghost shrimps to take turtle sticks as food...and on a 'sidenote' if its ok for swordtails to take a few bite while the sticks sinks to the bottom....

Oh...I did not see the title.

I assume turtle sticks should be fine for both shrimp and fish as long as you feed *very* sparingly. It does not have any advantage to normal fish food though. They all have enough calcium.

Other than copper, should i be worried about any other ingredients?

I don't have turtle sticks and don't know exactly what they are made of, but if a turtle can eat it, a shrimp can eat it.
