I’ve used this substrate in my 10-gallon tank with cherry shrimp and java fern. The plants root well and the shrimp are active in the substrate. It stays intact and doesn’t compact like other substrates I tried.

The substrate works well for my shrimp and anubias. The spherical shape allows good airflow and root development. I didn’t notice any settling or compaction after two months.

Great for beginners. My shrimp are thriving and the plants have grown nicely. The substrate is easy to mix into the tank and doesn’t clump or break apart.
