## Description

Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum Aquarium Substrate 4kg

## Features

- Promotes strong plant growth — roots penetrate easily and spread throughout the substrate to maintain important nutrients
- The porous structure allows rapid colonization of beneficial nitrifying bacteria
- Supports a neutral to slightly acidic pH — ideal for most plants, tropical fish and shrimp normally kept in planted aquariums
- Provides newborn shrimp protection from predators until they are large enough to pop up
- Does not discolour water and helps control organic discoloration when natural driftwood is present
- Note: Please note that air bubbles released when first immersed are completely normal and you don't have to worry. The bubbles are normal air released from the porous surface of the product. Only gas bubbles that have accumulated over time due to decomposition are worrying due to the nature of the gas.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I never received my package**
A: Fluval sent me the wrong size bag one time but when you contact them!
They are excellent in correcting it .

**Q: Will this work in small pots in my tank. I have a gravel tank and a sand tank. Not sure if im ready to go all the way.**
A: Yes it's the size of regular gravel just softer like compressed dirt balls. I put them in small glass bowls and put plants in it.

**Q: How many of the 8.8lbs do I need to get 1.5 inches of substrate in a tank that has a 20x12 foot print?**
A: 20x12 foot print is the footprint of a 10 gallon tank. I used a 8.8lb to get 2" easily. You should be fine getting 1 x 8.8lb bag.

**Q: Hi, is this substrate safe for all types of shrimp?  Thank you**
A: Fluval Plant and Shrimp is pH neutral, therefore with correct water pH is safe for all types of shrimp. It's also vey good for aquatic plants that are needed to create a proper environment for shrimp.
