## Description

Product description GlasGarten - Bacter AEBacter AE Micro Powder adds important microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes to your aquarium. Bacter AE improves the water quality and increases the development of the biofilm required by shrimps and especially their offspring. This resulting biofilm ensures a constantly available, protein-rich food supply, which increases the survival rate of juvenile shrimps in particular and enables healthy development. In addition, the probiotic bacteria in Bacter AE improve the animals' nutrient uptake and regulate digestion.The bacterial cultures contained in Bacter AE Micro Powder are in a kind of "dormant state" and become active immediately on contact with water. They remove harmful substances and, together with the harmonised ingredients, ensure a good microclimate in the aquarium.Dosage (per approx. 120 litres)- for low stocking density: 1/2 measuring spoon* once a day- for normal stocking density: 1 measuring spoon* once a day- with high stocking density: 2x daily 1 measuring spoon*We recommend starting with half the dosage for approx. one week when using Bacter AE for the first time.* 1 measuring spoon corresponds to approx. 0.5gCompositionAmino acids, polysaccharides, xylanase, glucanase, amylase, protease, hemicellulase, Bacillus subtilis, Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus)Contents140 g (measuring spoon included)Made in Germany Ingredients Amino acids, polysaccharides, xylanase, glucanase, amylase, protease, hemicellulase, Bacillus subtilis & Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus).

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.
Review: Best product for shrimp keepers - Shrimp go mad for it soon as its in the tank, recommend to only use half the recommend dosage, date was on the tub so very happy

Shrimp go mad for it soon as its in the tank, recommend to only use half the recommend dosage, date was on the tub so very happy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
