It was a fresh water and therfor might have had ick at one point in time. The ick medicine had copper in it which stays in the tank and will kill shrimp and snails in a saltwater tank. I don't want to risk it.

Used saltwater tanks could have previously had ick in it as well and could have also been treated with copper. You just never know really.
