About this item

🦐 Aquario Neo Shrimp Soil – Premium Substrate for Shrimp Tanks

Neo Shrimp Soil by Aquario is specially designed to create the ideal environment for freshwater shrimp—including Caridina and Neocaridina species. Similar to Aquario’s Neo Plant Soil, this substrate features a dual-layer structure with microporous granules that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and serve as an additional form of biological filtration.

Whether you're breeding shrimp or simply want to enhance their colors and health, Neo Shrimp Soil offers the perfect foundation for a thriving shrimp tank.


 


Key Features & Benefits:

  • 🟤 3mm Grain Size
    Ideal for shrimp tanks—easy for shrimp to walk across and sift through.

  • 🌱 Great for Planted Shrimp Aquariums
    Supports the growth of shrimp-friendly plants like mosses and ferns.

  • 🦠 Rich in Beneficial Bacteria
    Microporous structure supports microbial colonization for a healthy biofilter.

  • 🧪 Improves Water Clarity
    Adsorbs impurities to help maintain crystal-clear water.

  • 🐚 Strengthens Shrimp Shells
    Enhances coloration and contributes to stronger, healthier exoskeletons.

  • 📉 pH Buffering Effect
    Slightly lowers pH to maintain ideal parameters for shrimp species.

  • ⚗️ Microelement-Rich
    Contains essential humic acids and trace elements that benefit shrimp and plants.


💡 How to Use:

  1. Spread a thin layer of soil at the bottom of the tank.

  2. Optionally, add Neo Plants Tabs or other fertilizer.

  3. Pour the rest of the soil—low in the front, higher in the back—to create depth.

  4. Gently fill the tank using cling wrap or the soil packaging to diffuse the water and avoid disturbing the layout.

  5. Do not rinse or wash the soil before use.


🧼 Water Quality with Neo Shrimp Soil:

  • Helps reduce ammonia buildup during the cycling process.

  • Enhances water parameters to increase shrimplet survival rates.

  • Promotes stable, healthy conditions for long-term shrimp care.

Beautiful addition to my reef!

The fish arrived in perfect condition. Packaging was triple insulated with heat packs. Acclimation was smooth and it was eating frozen mysis within 2 hours of introduction. AquaEditorial never disappoints.

Good but picky eater

Beautiful specimen, arrived healthy. Takes a while to adjust to new food but eventually started eating pellets. Great addition to my South American cichlid tank.

FAQs

Emily R.·2 days ago

What temperature should I keep the tank at for this fish?

Betta USASeller·replied

Great question! We recommend maintaining a water temperature of 82–86°F (28–30°C). Discus are tropical fish and thrive in warm, stable water conditions. A reliable heater with a thermostat is essential.

Michael T.·5 days ago

Can I keep this with other fish in a community tank?

Betta USASeller·replied

Yes! Discus are peaceful and social. They do best with calm tank mates like Cardinal Tetras, Rummy Nose Tetras, and Corydoras Catfish. Avoid aggressive or fast-moving fish that may stress them.

Sarah L.·1 week ago

What size tank do I need for a small group?

Betta USASeller·replied

We recommend a minimum of 55 gallons for a small group of discus. They need spacious aquariums with open swimming areas, live plants, driftwood, and gentle filtration.

David K.·1 week ago

What should I feed them?

Betta USASeller·replied

Discus are omnivores and benefit from a varied diet. We recommend high-quality discus pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and beef heart mixes. A varied diet helps maintain vibrant coloration.
