• Hygger CO2 Shrimp Substrate is made by a newly upgraded process and is added with trace nutrient elements suitable for the reproduction and growth of shrimps. In addition, the shrimp substrate has long-lasting fertility and can slowly release the fertilizer effect, avoiding the massive growth of algae in the early stage. It is an important substrate for shrimp reproduction, the growth of aquatic plants, and the creation of aquascaping.
• The shrimp soil is made by sintering premium natural mountain soil, and it has excellent water permeability. Its porous structure provides habitats for microorganisms and bacteria. It has outstanding characteristics of reducing acidity and softening water, absorbing substances harmful to fish and shrimp such as nitrite, which helps to maintain the stability of the water quality in the fish tank. Note: Successful shrimp keeping depends on multiple factors, and Shrimp Soil is just one of them.
• The texture of the shrimp soil is fine and not easy to scatter. When laid on the bottom of the aquarium, it not only provides a growth environment for live aquarium plants, promotes the photosynthesis of aquarium grass and makes them grow more luxuriantly, but also increases the ornamental value of the aquarium and creates a beautiful fish tank landscape. It is an excellent choice for aquascaping of water plant tanks and a perfect substrate for crystal shrimp.
• No cleaning required; ready for immediate use. During initial use, the water may appear cloudy—this is normal. After 2-3 water changes, the water will become clear and remain stable.In addition, this product has been rigorously tested and proven to be harmless to fish and aquatic plants, but for safety reasons, it is recommended to change the water once a day for 3 to 5 days after setting up the fish tank，and ensure that the water is changed at least 3 times before adding aquatic organisms.
• Hygger CO2 shrimp soil particles are about 3 - 5mm, which is of moderate size, ensuring good air permeability and providing stable support for the roots of live aquarium plants. This product has been specially treated to prevent pulverization and maintain the stability and permeability of the substrate. If the product is damaged during transportation, please contact us for after - sales. We will do our best to ensure that you have a pleasant shopping experience.
• Warm tips: Shrimp soil should be directly poured into the fish tank for use, and must not be rinsed with water! During the production process, the porous structure inside the shrimp soil absorbs many nutrients beneficial to aquatic plants and shrimps, promoting their healthy growth. Washing the shrimp soil may rinse away these beneficial microorganisms and could also cause it to break down into mud, making it dirtier the more you wash it. Therefore, do not wash the shrimp soil!
