Review on GlasGarten Bacter AE: Enhanced Shrimp Tank Treatment for Optimal Health and Water Conditions by Alexis Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Helped my shrimp tank

I have a 5 gallon aquarium with cherry shrimp, lamb snails and two pygmy kori. I had problems with the shrimp surviving. I fed them sinking pellets and although they ate fine something was wrong. The adults gradually died out. Some successfully gave birth and then died. Babies grow up and then they begin to die. My colony did not prosper. All water parameters were excellent, I had constant weekly cleaning and water changes and the aquarium was set up for over half a year. I have experience in this hobby, so I didn't kill shrimp the usual novice way. I started using GlasGarten Bacter AE, Shrimp Fit, Mineral Junkie Pearls and Shrimp Baby about a year ago and now have a thriving colony that is always breeding, growing and surviving. In that time it has grown from 15 adults to over 70 cherries of various ages. Here is my feeding schedule: Day 1 and 4: Bacter AE, Hikari Shrimp Cuisine Granules. Day 2 and 5: Shrimp Fit, Mineral Junkie Pearls. Day 3 and 6: Shrimp Baby, NLS AlgaeMax Granules. powder products. I use 1/64 teaspoon, which is a lot less than the scoop that comes with the products. I always have berry females and flowering shrimp. I have so many shrimp now that I have moved some to my 55 gallon tank. The four GlasGarten products I use work well together and I highly recommend them. I started using GlasGarten products about two months ago and now have a thriving colony that is always breeding, growing and surviving. During that time I went from 15 adults to over 50 cherries of different ages and didn't see a single dead shrimp. I feed GlasGarten Bacter AE every other day, Shrimp Fit twice a week and Mineral Junkie Pearls every other day. I still feed sinking Aquatic Arts Pellets three times a week. I always have berry females and flowering shrimp. Now I have so many shrimp I'm going to transplant some of them to my 55 gallon tank. This feeding regime is great for my aquarium. The three GlasGarten products I use work well together and I highly recommend them.
