## Summary description

Fluval Shrimp Stratum is an aquarium substrate designed for freshwater shrimp tanks, supplied in an 8 kg bag. It provides a stable base for planted and shrimp aquaria, supports water chemistry suitable for many freshwater shrimp species, and helps root plant growth. Used to create natural-looking tank beds and promote healthy shrimp activity and breeding.

## Long description

Fluval Shrimp Stratum is an aquarium substrate specially formulated for freshwater shrimp tanks, supplied in an 8 kg bag. It creates a stable base layer that supports planted aquaria and shrimp habitats by helping to maintain water conditions favourable to many freshwater shrimp species and by promoting root development in aquatic plants. The substrate’s granular structure and composition contribute to a natural-looking tank bed while encouraging active foraging and breeding behaviour in shrimp.
Advantages
Fluval Shrimp Stratum provides a substrate that stabilizes pH and water chemistry within ranges preferred by many dwarf shrimp, while offering porosity that supports beneficial bacterial colonization. The granule size and texture assist plant rooting and anchoring, reducing substrate compaction over time. Its mineral content helps create soft, slightly acidic conditions often required for optimal shrimp health and reproduction without the need for frequent chemical additives.
Suitable for
Freshwater shrimp tanks and shrimp breeding setups
Planted aquaria where root development is important
Soft-water biotope tanks mimicking acidic environments
Low-maintenance community tanks containing small, non-aggressive species
Key specifications
Package weight: 8 kg
Granular substrate designed for shrimp and plant use
Porous texture that promotes bacterial colonization and root anchorage
Formulation aimed at supporting soft, slightly acidic water conditions
Suitable as a base layer for planted and shrimp aquaria
How to use
Rinse lightly only if necessary according to aquarium setup instructions; follow manufacturer guidance for initial preparation. Add an even layer of substrate to the aquarium bottom, typically several centimetres deep depending on plant selection and tank size, to provide adequate rooting depth and a stable environment for shrimp. When planting, position roots into the substrate and avoid excessive disturbance. During water changes and maintenance, vacuum carefully at the surface to remove debris while preserving the substrate structure and beneficial bacterial colonies.
Usage recommendations
Use in combination with compatible water parameters and regular monitoring of pH and hardness. Pair with slow-release fertilisers or root tabs if planting demanding species, and avoid aggressive digging fish that may disturb the substrate. For breeding shrimp, maintain consistent temperature and water quality to maximise the benefits of the substrate’s chemistry support.
