Sourced from the mineral-rich soil of the foothills of Japan's famous Mount Aso, Fluval Stratum Substrate is ideal for aquariums with plants and those that also contain shrimp.
- Substrate stimulating the growth of vigorous plants, since the roots easily penetrate and extend into the substrate to obtain key nutrients;
- Porous structure ideal for the rapid proliferation of beneficial nitrifying bacteria;
- Properties promoting a neutral to slightly acidic pH ideal for most plants, shrimp and tropical fish commonly kept in planted aquariums;
- Refuge allowing newborn shrimp to escape predators until they are large enough to emerge from the substrate;
- Water resistant and helps prevent organic discoloration when natural driftwood is used;
- Use in freshwater aquariums.
