Default trimming java ferns and anubias

i have a shrimp tank with anubias, java ferns, some sort of crypt and java moss. i trimmed off some leaves from the java fern that didnt look too good. and the rhyzome was longer than i wanted so i split it, one side with 2 leaves and the other with 3. and trimmed some of the roots that where 6+ inches down to like 1.5". now i heard that trimming java ferns and anubias releases some sort of toxin harmful to shrimp. my question is when can i put it back in the tank? i'm planning to trim each plant one by one as to not disturb the tank parameters too much.

haha, funny thing. i started searching for who indeed said this last time i googled something and i came across an old thread.
http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...ry-shrimp.html

haha where you, yourself, answered my question last month, from the past like marty mcfly! then i found a crypto and shrimp myth that was also voided because no one has evidence. omg someone save me face and delete my thread. hehe.
