GlasGarten Bacter AE 70 g

Product Information

Biofilm is an essential food source for shrimp. It is also one of the reasons why we need to cycle a shrimp tank for long periods even though the tank might be small. On the other hand, I have seen people talked about Bacter AE causing death to their shrimps because the bacterias in it infected their shrimps. Assuming that Bacter AE contains Bacillus subtitles and Lactobacillus ONLY, this claim is "nearly" impossible. It is known that both of these species are probiotics and non-pathogenic. However, there is a study that reported Bacillus subtitles causing white spot syndrome to culture tiger shrimp Penaeus monsoon. The amount of Bacter AE, as well as the frequency of dosage, depends on the size of your shrimp tank as well as many shrimps you have living inside it. Have you tried anything that is not safe for shrimps, but in super low doses? That might kill the shell bugs but not the shrimp. Bacter AE is one of the most recommended foods for your pet Caridina and Neocaridina shrimps. However, it can also cause issues if you add too much of this micropower into your aquarium.

Although the ideal scenario is create a 100% natural ecosystem, we do need certain help from time to time, especially when you are new to shrimp breeding. Unfortunately, the scoops that they give us are quite big though and then the recommended dosage is one scoop per day.

Glasgarten Bacter AE contains both the Pediococcus Acidilactici and Bacillus Subtilis as well as amino acids, enzymes and vitamins to activate the bacteria. When used as directed, it grows lactic acid bacteria biofilm fast and greatly increases shrimplet survival as result as there is constantly biofilm available as a food source. Overdosing fouls the water. A similar product available is ShrimpyDaddy Revive Vita that definitely contains a lactobacillus. Genchem Polytase does not contain Lactobacillus, but does contain Bacillus Subtilis, so does Dr Tim's probiotic. Trusted Product: used at Alpha Pro Breeders Shrimp Breeding Facility, as well as all of the Shrimp Holding Tanks at Aquatic Arts. So, the experienced owners suggest applying only a small amount of this supplementation. I’ve made a chart that can help you understand the practical dosage recommendation. As you can see the functions of all ingredients, none of them cause any harm to the shrimp. So, Bacter AE is safe for your shrimp. However, the perfect dosage of Bacter AE plays the crucial role of safety for shrimp. Official Dosage Recommendation For Bacter AE Do not only feed the Bacter AE as a main meal for your shrimp. Combine it with other food, Shrimp dinner pads or some of the Shrimp Kings range of food. The container

Sorry to hear you are still having this issue! You could try another aquarium but I would keep everything new and seperate so it will be a slow process. I would get new shrimps for it as well when it is ready! Take the quantity that you want to feed and put it on the water. The particles of powder will spread throughout your aquarium and they will eventually fall everywhere. Do not worry if you see the powder on the top of the water, it will fall eventually. The amount to dose is currently up in the air, so far experience has taught us to ignore the manufacturers instructions (which is already a bad sign) and place a dose that is as small as possible into the tank which already adds a mild degree of difficulty to using it as the instructions are not clear and is up to trial and error for the new user. Some shrimp owners complain that these bacteria can infect their shrimp. Although the claim is nearly impossible, there are complaints about white spot syndrome in shrimp due to overdose. How To Prevent Bacter AE From Harming Your Shrimp? The prime role of Bacter AE is to encourage the growth of microorganisms and biofilm. So, a little powder of Bacter AE can start the bacterial colony in your shrimp tank.If you are purchasing bacter ae for the first time, here are some usage tips to help you get the best from it:
