## Description

Product Description GlaGarten Bacter AE adds important micro-organisms amino acids and enzymes to your aquarium. E improves the heat quality and strengthens the development of the biofilm that is needed by shrimps and whose offspring. The escaping biofilm ensures a dainty available protein-rich food which includes the survival rate of young shrimps and enables healthy development. In addition, probiotic bacteria repel the nutrient intake of the animals and regulate the digestion. I find bacteria cultures contained in a kind of resting condition? and become active immediately upon contact with water. Remove chadtoffe and create a good microclimate in the aquarium together with the consecutive contents. Dosage (for 120 litres). Low quantity: 1 x daily 1/2 spoon. Normal trim: 1 x daily 1 spoon. Start half a week. Br1 melting spoon = approx. 05 g combination of amino acids polyaccaride xylanae glucanae amylae proteae hemicellulae bacillu ubtili pediococcu acidilactici (Lactobacillu)brbrContents: 70 g including melon Directions Dissolve the provided measuring spoon of GlasGarten Bacter AE in 1.2E+2 liters of aquarium or pond water.

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.
Review: Good stuff! - I bought this for my breeding tank of cherry shrimp, and they all love it. Never see as many shrimp out and about as when I feed this, as despite it being a 'food for the food for the shrimp', they quite enjoy feasting on the powder itself. Since adding this once a week I've also seen an increase in shrimp feeding off the glass surfaces, so it's definitely encouraged biofilm growth. I also figured I could use this to encourage biofilm growth in my tank with Otocinclus and Rainbow Gobies (Stiphodon Ornatus) the latter of which primarily feed on biofilm, and it seems to have done the trick as the Gobies in particular are looking plump and colourful. Definitely do not use as much as they tell you to use. Once a week, I use maybe 1/4 of the little spoon included, add it to a plastic syringe, suck some tank water and give it a good shake until it's all mixed together, and then use the syringe to add it to the tank. If you just add it straight to the tank it'll clump and also float on top of the water. It sinks eventually, but can be avoided by mixing it with water first. Mixing it also ensures it gets everywhere in the tank, into all the nooks and crannies which is perfect if you have baby shrimp hiding away.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much of this should I use in a 2.5g nano tank with <10 neocaridina shrimp?**
A: I use about an eighth of the scoop ever other day in my 10 gallon with 10 Cherry shrimp. 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.

Regards,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must for any shrimp lover
*by S***Y on 3 February 2026*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my Neon Goby's
*by N***H on 5 October 2023*

I bought this after reading that its a great meal for Neon Goby's who like to graze on algae in mature tanks. It seems to be working great, comes with a measuring spoon too to help you feed your fish the correct dosage but I've read online that you only need half the recommended amount on the packaging. Be sure to slowly introduce it into your aquarium as you need to slowly up the dosage each week until you are feeding the correct amount. Know it will last a long time too.
