Unnecessary for carnivorous plant growth. I have zero experience with aquariums/fish, so it may work for that.

It will do nothing to lower the TDS of your water, and many of the algae/fungal issues are from too wet media and spores that are airborne in most places.

I wouldn't use it. Unless your water smells awful, there's no bacteria in it that will hurt your plant- all the bacteria, fungi, etc in the water are already on everything else outside.

Also, copper is deadly to aquatic invertebrates, so this wouldn't be good for an aquarium with those.

Fish and plants are not the same thing. Fish have kidneys that can remove various materials from their bodies before they build up to toxic levels. Plants can't do that. Whatever minerals or metals a plant intakes stay inside the plant.
