🧫 Bacter AE Micro Powder – Biofilm Booster & Shrimplet Survival Enhancer

Probiotic Power | Healthier Water | Essential for Baby Shrimp

Bacter AE Micro Powder by GlasGarten is an essential additive for all shrimp tanks, enhancing water quality while encouraging the growth of protein-rich biofilm—a critical food source for both adult shrimp and their delicate offspring. With a powerful blend of probiotic bacteria, enzymes, and amino acids, Bacter AE supports digestion, improves nutrient uptake, and boosts the overall health and survival rate of baby shrimp (shrimplets).


🧬 Why Use Bacter AE?

  • ✅ Adds beneficial microorganisms to your tank

  • ✅ Promotes formation of biofilm and microbial layers

  • ✅ Enhances survival rate and growth of shrimplets

  • ✅ Improves water quality and supports biological filtration

  • ✅ Aids in digestion with natural enzymes


🦐 Ideal for:

  • Freshwater shrimp tanks (Neocaridina, Caridina, Sulawesi, etc.)

  • Shrimp breeders focusing on high survival rates

  • Aquariums with young or sensitive shrimp

  • Tanks needing a healthy microbial balance


🧪 How It Works:

Bacter AE contains dormant bacteria like Bacillus subtilis and Pediococcus acidilactici that become active upon contact with water, immediately starting to:

  • Break down excess waste and organic matter

  • Create a biofilm layer that shrimp can constantly graze on

  • Introduce enzymes (like amylase, protease, xylanase) that aid shrimp digestion

  • Improve shrimp metabolism and strengthen immunity


📏 Dosage Instructions (per ~120L / 30 gal):

  • 🟢 Low Stocking Density: ½ measuring spoon daily

  • ⚪️ Normal Stocking Density: 1 measuring spoon daily

  • 🔴 High Stocking Density: 1 measuring spoon twice daily

Pro Tip: When first introducing Bacter AE, start with half dosage for the first week to allow your tank to adjust.
📌 1 measuring spoon ≈ 0.5g


🧂 Ingredients:

  • Amino Acids

  • Polysaccharides

  • Digestive Enzymes: Xylanase, Glucanase, Amylase, Protease, Hemicellulase

  • Bacterial Strains: Bacillus subtilis, Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus)


📦 Product Details:

  • Available Sizes: 35g , 70g , and 140g

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.
