what is it exactly? A lot of forms of copper are not hazardous to shrimp - most fish foods have trace amount of a copper compound and shrimp gobble it up. Tell us what it is, though. Or... google "is (name of what you're using) shrimp safe" and I bet the question has already been asked and answered in several places on the internet.

Maybe I am blind but... I am just not seeing the copper that is your cause for concern listed in the ingredients.

Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

Yah on the bottle on the side where it shows the directions on how to use, you go all the way down where it says keep away from children and underneath that it say "information concerning the levels of metals in the product is at the Internet at:" www.aapfco.org/metals.html and it redirected me and I had to go through it but when I finally found the product I looked at the ingredients and it says it has 0.14% of copper

I don't use that product but I would Google it with "shrimp safe" and someone will have something on the net about it IF it is an issue.
There may also be a landslide of "It is not an issue..." but either way you will know the general consensus.
