Solid results, but the spoon is way too big!
Unlike pellets that the big shrimp hog, this dusts everything—moss, glass, and sponge filters—meaning baby shrimp can eat wherever they hide. It’s a five-star, high-quality essential for anyone breeding shrimp. Since I started using it, I’ve seen way more babies reach adulthood. This is a really well-engineered product that makes the water crystal clear by boosting the micro-flora. It creates a fantastic grazing environment. My only minor note is a 'human-alike' warning: the instructions tell you to use a full scoop, but that is far too much for most tanks and can crash your oxygen levels.

Must for any shrimp lover
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.

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.

Shrimp love it. Hard to mix in water
My shrimp seem to be doing good since adding this. I have a 12L tank so the measurements on the tub don't fit for my tank as it is too small. So dose wise I am guessing. But I am putting a small amount in each day. I started by adding it straight to the tank water but found it became almost water repellent and wouldn't mix well. It would leave a lot of powder floating on the surface. To counter it I now mix it in a small container with some tank water and then simply tip it in to the tank ready mixed. This seems to be working a lot better for me, u still get some surface skimmer from it but it seems to be a better method. I'm happy i got this and will continue to use it!

Lots of baby shrimp
I bought this as I noticed the baby shrimp could really compete in the food scrum. I mix a tiny bit in a small amount of tank water and then suck it up into a syringe to squirt around the tank. I make sure I squirt some at the mosses. You then see a few days later all the baby shrimp feeding away. It certainly seems to get the shrimp all to explore the tank more and look busy

Hilft enorm bei der Überlebensrate von Jungtieren. Habe davor Garnelen Pulverfutter gegeben, aber leider belastet es das Becken enorm, und ohne überleben die Babys nicht. Besonders wenn das Becken groß ist... Bacter AE macht zwar alles etwas schleimiger aber die Garnelen LIEBEN das Zeug, und seit dem boomt es auch mit kleinem Gewusel. Wasser und Werte sind sogar stabiler. Achtung, vorsichtig dosieren! Lieber zu wenig, als zu viel. Ich gebe alle 2 Tage eine Zahnstocherspitze ins Becken (25L).
