I used 2 bags in my 250 litre tank plus gravel and my plants have rooted well and are quite stable **Q: How many Kilos would be needed for a Triton 350 corner aquarium. (350 lts)** A: My Fluval Flex 57l (39cm x 39cm or 15" x15" base) took one 8kg bag and covered it to a depth of 5-6cm. Hope that gives you an idea. **Q: Would this be ok with cory catfish?** A: Yes, fine with cory catfish. I have ten plus adult peppered cories and they are breeding constantly with eight babies now nearing adulthood. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluval 12694 Plant and Shrimp Stratum for Freshwater Fish Tanks, 8.8 lbs. – Aquarium Substrate for Strong Plant Growth, Supports Neutral to Slightly Acidic pH - Aqua Natural Sugar White Sand 10lb Substrate for aquascaping, Aquariums, vivariums and terrariums - majoywoo Natural Coral Driftwood for Aquarium Decor Fish Tank Decorations, Assorted Driftwood Branch 6-10" 3 Pcs, Reptile Decor… --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/61740919-fluval-plant-and-shrimp-stratum-aquarium-substrate-4kg](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/61740919-fluval-plant-and-shrimp-stratum-aquarium-substrate-4kg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
