Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum, 4.4 lbs
Originating from the nutrient-packed slopes of Japan’s renowned Mont Aso Volcano, Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum is a premium substrate designed to enhance the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater aquariums. Its unique composition allows plant roots to effortlessly penetrate and expand within the substrate, accessing a wide range of essential nutrients for vigorous development.
Pairing this substrate with FLUVAL PLANT MICRO NUTRIENTS ensures a complete supply of vital macro and micro nutrients. Its lightweight, non-compacting, and porous texture is perfect for nurturing beneficial nitrifying bacteria, which quickly establish on the extensive surface area, maintaining excellent water conditions for plant health.
The natural properties of Fluval Stratum help maintain a neutral to slightly acidic pH, creating an optimal environment for a variety of plant species as well as tropical fish and shrimp commonly found in planted tanks. Additionally, it offers newborn shrimp a safe haven to avoid predators until they grow larger.
This visually appealing substrate does not cloud the water and aids in reducing organic discoloration often caused by natural driftwood. Available in a 2 kg (4.4 lbs) package, it’s a top choice for aquarists at ReptileSupply.com.
