About this item

X2 Gold Bio Bag

Tank Starter Bio Booster – Supports Cycling, Biofilm Growth & Shrimp Health

The X2 Gold Bio Bag is a premium biological filter media specially designed for new tank setups. This advanced pouch provides an ideal environment for beneficial bacteria and yeast to colonize, accelerating tank maturation and supporting a healthy ecosystem for shrimp.


🌿 What It Does:

  • Promotes Biofilm Growth
    Quickly develops a bacterial coating (visible as white biofilm) on the bag’s surface—an essential natural food source for shrimp.

  • Accelerates Tank Cycling
    Jumpstarts the biological maturation of the tank, helping to establish healthy bacteria populations.

  • Improves Water Quality
    Releases enzymes and complex sugars that aid in waste breakdown, improving overall shrimp immunity and digestive health.

  • Boosts Plant Growth & Water Stability
    Produces a gentle stream of CO₂, which supports plant development and helps lower pH slightly—ideal for shrimp-keeping.


🧾 How to Use:

  • Tank Start-Up:
    Place 1 bag per 30 liters (approx. 8 gallons) of water from day one of setup.

  • In Established Tanks:
    Soak the bag in tank water overnight before adding. If it doesn’t sink within 24 hours, gently squeeze the air out.

  • Signs of Activation:

    • A white cotton-like biofilm appears within days.

    • Tiny CO₂ bubbles may be visible.

    • Shrimp will begin grazing on the pouch.

⚠️ Ensure constant filtration and good aeration in tanks using the Gold Bio Bag.


🌰 Ingredients:

Proprietary blend of botanicals, nuts, plant products, trace minerals, and enzymes.


📦 Ideal For:

  • New shrimp tank setups

  • Enhancing biofilm & shrimp survival

  • Supporting shrimp breeding and molting

Product Type: Mesh Bio Starter Bag | Lasts up to 3 Months | Safe for all shrimp and planted aquariums

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.
