Possibly. Discus Trace™ is exclusively intended for freshwater tanks and formulated for the needs of cichlids. Additionally, many fish, plants, and invertebrates are stressed by sudden high-percentage water changes and shifts in water parameters. We recommend to follow the dosing instructions and keep water changes to 30% of the tank or less. More sensitive tank inhabitants will do better with smaller, more frequent water changes and slower alterations of water parameters.
A note about copper:
Discus Trace™ does contain copper, as this and other trace elements are absolutely necessary for the health of fish and invertebrates. Like all trace elements, copper can become stressful if a high enough amount is built up in the system. However, the amount of copper included in Discus Trace™ and other trace element supplements is so low that a gross overdose of many times the recommended amount all at once is necessary to stress invertebrates like shrimp and snails. Under any reasonable circumstances of use, Discus Trace™ is incapable of posing a danger of copper or other trace element toxicity to aquarium inhabitants.
