GOODGROWLIES Bacter AE Shrimp Aquarium Powder, 70 g for Biofilm Support

GOODGROWLIES GlasGarten Bacter AE Micro Powder is a 70 g freshwater shrimp aquarium additive designed to develop biofilm and support shrimp nutrition with microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes.

• Live probiotic bacteria — support nutrient uptake and shrimp digestive processes.
• Water-activated bacterial cultures — help remove toxic substances and contribute to aquarium microclimate.
• One measuring spoon included — makes it possible to follow the stocking-based directions.
• Dosage guidance for 120 liters — covers low, normal and heavy shrimp stocking levels.
• Used in all shrimp holding tanks at the Aquatic Arts shrimp breeding facility — a real-world shrimp-keeping application.

Freshwater shrimp rely on biofilm as an important food source, and young shrimp can benefit from a tank environment that supports its development. Bacter AE is made for freshwater shrimp aquariums, including dwarf and nano tanks, and is intended for routine use according to the aquarium’s stocking level.

How does Bacter AE support shrimp and aquarium water?

The powder helps develop biofilm that provides shrimp with staple food rich in beneficial proteins. Its live probiotic bacteria also support nutrient uptake and positively influence digestive processes; the brand says the biofilm helps improve the survival rate of young shrimplets.

• Contains amino acids, polysaccharides and enzymes.
• Includes Bacillus subtilis and Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus).
• Biofilm development is intended for shrimp tanks.

How much should I use in a 120-liter aquarium?

For 120 liters, dose daily according to stocking: half a measuring spoon for a lightly stocked aquarium, one spoon for a normally stocked aquarium, or one spoon twice daily for a heavily stocked aquarium. When starting, use half the recommended dosage during the first week.

• One included measuring spoon holds about 0.5 g.
• Follow the directions for the stocking level of your aquarium.
• The first-week guidance applies when using Bacter AE for the first time.
