Bacter AE improves the water quality and increases the development of the biofilm required by shrimps and especially their offspring. This resulting biofilm ensures a constantly available, protein-rich food supply, which increases the survival rate of juvenile shrimps in particular and enables healthy development. In addition, the probiotic bacteria in Bacter AE improve the animals' nutrient uptake and regulate digestion.The bacterial cultures contained in Bacter AE Micro Powder are in a kind of "dormant state" and become active immediately on contact with water. They remove harmful substances and, together with the harmonised ingredients, ensure a good microclimate in the aquarium.Dosage (per approx. 120 litres)- for low stocking density: 1/2 measuring spoon* once a day- for normal stocking density: 1 measuring spoon* once a day- with high stocking density: 2x daily 1 measuring spoon*We recommend starting with half the dosage for approx. one week when using Bacter AE for the first time.* 1 measuring spoon corresponds to approx. 0.5gCompositionAmino acids, polysaccharides, xylanase, glucanase, amylase, protease, hemicellulase, Bacillus subtilis, Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus)Contents35 g (measuring spoon included)Made in Germany Directions Dosage (each dose is approximately 120 litres. LOW DENSITY - 1 measuring spoon 1/2 per day * With normal density: 1 measuring spoon per day* High density: 2 tablespoons per day for 1 measure* We recommend using Bacter AE for the first application. Start a week with half a dose. * 1 measuring cup corresponds to approx. 0.5 g Review: Solid results, but the spoon is way too big! - Unlike pellets that the big shrimp hog, this dusts everything—moss, glass, and sponge filters—meaning baby shrimp can eat wherever they hide. It’s a five-star, high-quality essential for anyone breeding shrimp. Since I started using it, I’ve seen way more babies reach adulthood. This is a really well-engineered product that makes the water crystal clear by boosting the micro-flora. It creates a fantastic grazing environment. My only minor note is a 'human-alike' warning: the instructions tell you to use a full scoop, but that is far too much for most tanks and can crash your oxygen levels. Review: Must for any shrimp lover - My cherry (red bloody merry neocardinia) breeded like hell after this and they probably love it. water gets milky for few seconds but that is but obvious. Highly recommended for shrimp lovers. Never tried in a tank with fishes in it as I feed other sources in my fish tanks so can't comment. For shrimp lovers this is must to be have in your cabinet of food. ## Features - WATER SUPPLEMENT: With Bacter AE you add important microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes to your aquarium.

Everyone seems to be happy. Hope that helps. **Q: Do you need to refrigerate after opening?** A: I do not refrigerate mine and it has been fine. Just keep it dry. I have not seen this being refrigerated. I do not believe it is needed. **Q: I'm having difficulty opening the jar. The lid only turns halfway before stopping completely. Any help?** A: Maybe the tracks are off or something. It's just plastic too so you can maybe gently pry it from underneath while trying to unscrew it. **Q: Will this bring down the tds in an aquarium** A: Hi, it will increase the TDS in an aquarium.
