Build a more natural habitat

Leaves, cones and bark break down slowly, releasing tannins and growing the biofilm shrimp graze on all day. The result is softer, more natural water and a tank that behaves like a stream bed rather than a glass box.

Bring your aquarium to life

Christmas, Java and Flame moss, plus easy epiphytes and stem plants grown in our tanks. Moss gives shrimplets cover and a constant grazing surface — and it looks beautiful on wood and stone.
