Product Description
Transform your freshwater aquatic environment with Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum, a specialized mineral-rich volcanic soil harvested from the foothills of Mount Aso in Japan. This lightweight, non-compacting substrate is expertly engineered to encourage robust plant root development, allowing delicate roots to easily penetrate and spread throughout the tank. Featuring a highly porous structure, the granules provide a massive surface area that fosters rapid colonization of beneficial nitrifying bacteria to help maintain optimal water quality. Additionally, the substrate naturally helps promote and stabilize a neutral-to-slightly-acidic pH level, which is exceptionally favored by tropical fish and freshwater shrimp. The intricate crevices within the granules also offer secure hiding spaces for newborn baby shrimp to safely evade predators as they grow. Whether you are establishing a brand new planted aquarium or enhancing an existing layout, this volcanic soil absorbs organic discoloration while delivering essential trace elements for long-lasting vibrancy.
