Is this an aquatic fern? I know of a fern that is fairly popular
among some herp hobbyists called Malaysian Fern, but it's a terrarium
plant that would not enjoy being submerged.

I wouldn't worry about it. These types of dechlor generally only
sequester a very small amount of metal, and just because a metal is
bound does not necessarily make it unavailable to the plants. Some
(all?) metals in trace ferts are already bound by chelators so that
they stay in solution longer (e.g., iron EDTA).
