Never heard of it killing shrimp. I have 2 cleaner shrimp in my tank and I always dip with bayer. Did you rinse good with clean salt water after? I soak in bayer for 5-10 minutes and then rinse 3 times with new salt water and have never had an issue. The other one I have heard about is iodine (lugols).

Yes I rinsed 2x, I’m not the only one, I found some stuff on YouTube and net after it happened to me because I had no explanation for the shrimp dying
