GlasGarten Bacter AE Shrimp Aquarium Biofilm Additive, 140 g Micro Powder

GlasGarten Bacter AE is a 140 g micro-powder additive for freshwater shrimp aquariums, designed to develop biofilm and provide shrimp and their offspring with a continuing food source.

• Microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes — adds these components to the aquarium.
• Biofilm development — creates the biofilm shrimp, especially young shrimp, need.
• Protein-rich biofilm — provides a continuing food source for shrimp.
• Probiotic bacteria — support nutrient absorption and help regulate digestion.
• Bacterial cultures activate on contact with water — begin working in the aquarium when added.

Freshwater shrimp and their offspring rely on biofilm as part of their available food. Bacter AE is made for shrimp aquariums where developing that biofilm is a priority, including tanks with young shrimp. Its added microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes are also intended to support aquarium water quality.

What is GlasGarten Bacter AE designed to do?

GlasGarten Bacter AE develops biofilm and supplies components that support shrimp feeding and digestion. The biofilm provides a continuously available, protein-rich food source, which is intended to support young shrimp survival and healthy development. Probiotic bacteria in the formula support nutrient absorption and help regulate digestion.

• Designed for freshwater shrimp aquariums.
• Biofilm is especially relevant to shrimp offspring.

How much Bacter AE should I use?

For a 120-litre aquarium, choose a low, normal or high dose based on the feeding level you want to provide. The directions recommend beginning with half the dose for the first week.

• Low: once daily, 1/2 tablespoon.
• Normal: once daily, 1 tablespoon.
• High: twice daily, 1 spoon per feeding.
• One tablespoon is approximately 0.5 g.

Use the dose schedule as a guide for the stated 120-litre aquarium volume. The first-week half-dose recommendation provides a gradual start before moving to the chosen routine.

What is included, and how does the powder activate?

Each container holds 140 g of Bacter AE and includes a spoon. The bacterial cultures are in a resting state and activate immediately when they come into contact with water.

• Formula components include amino acids and enzymes.
• The listed ingredients include xylan, glucan, amylase, protease, hemicellulase, Bacillus subtilis and Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus).

Bacter AE suits freshwater shrimp keepers who want to encourage biofilm for shrimp and offspring while adding microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes to the aquarium. Its 140 g format, included spoon and dose directions for 120 litres make it a defined micro-powder option for shrimp tanks focused on biofilm and food availability.
