Substrate for aquarium
Substrate – the right bottom for shrimp and stable water values
The right substrate is crucial for a healthy shrimp aquarium. It affects water quality, microorganisms and biofilm – important factors for both Caridina and Neocaridina.
• Sand and gravel are suitable for Neocaridina shrimp. They provide a natural bottom, protected areas for feeding and do not affect water values in an uncontrolled way.
• Soil is the best choice for sensitive Caridina shrimp. It helps maintain a low pH and soft water, which is important for healthy molting and a stress-free environment. Soil also contributes to the biofilm and microorganisms that shrimp naturally graze on.
All substrates in this category are carefully selected, aquarium safe and suitable for long-term use. With the right substrate, you will have both an aesthetically pleasing and biologically stable aquarium for your shrimp.
