## Long description

Fluval Shrimp Stratum for shrimp, 4 kg is a specialized aquarium substrate formulated for freshwater shrimp and planted shrimp tanks. Supplied in a 4 kg bag, the substrate creates a stable base layer that supports plant root development and encourages the establishment of beneficial bacteria. Its composition promotes water parameter stability favored by many dwarf shrimp species and helps maintain a healthy microenvironment within the aquarium.
Advantages
Fluval Shrimp Stratum contains fine-grained particles that are gentle on shrimp and plant roots while providing porosity for oxygen and nutrient exchange. The substrate supports colonization of beneficial nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, contributing to biological filtration. It is designed to assist in stabilizing pH and water hardness within ranges preferred by many freshwater shrimp, and its texture reduces compaction while retaining water around roots.
Suitable for
Freshwater shrimp tanks, including colonies of dwarf shrimp species
Planted aquaria where root development and nutrient exchange are important
Breeding setups requiring stable, shrimp-friendly substrate conditions
Aquaria aiming to establish robust biological filtration and microbial colonies
Key specifications
Bag weight: 4 kg
Particle type: fine-grained porous substrate suitable for plant roots and shrimp movement
Primary function: supports biological colonization and promotes stable water chemistry for shrimp
Intended use: bottom substrate layer for freshwater shrimp and planted aquaria
How to use
Rinse lightly if desired according to the manufacturer's instructions, then add Fluval Shrimp Stratum to the aquarium as the primary substrate layer to a recommended depth for plant rooting and shrimp activity. Arrange plants and decorations on top of the substrate and fill the tank slowly to avoid disturbing the layer. Allow time for beneficial bacteria to colonize the substrate before introducing sensitive shrimp species; cycling the aquarium or using established filter media will accelerate this process.
Usage recommendations
Monitor water parameters regularly after setup and during initial weeks of use. Combine the substrate with appropriate buffering plants, water source, and filtration suitable for shrimp to maintain stable pH and hardness levels. When planting, use gentle planting techniques to avoid deep disturbance of the substrate layer.
