GlasGarten Bacter AE 70 g

Product Information

Do not only feed the Bacter AE as a main meal for your shrimp. Combine it with other food, Shrimp dinner pads or some of the Shrimp Kings range of food. The container Bacter AE Micro Powder Water Additive for furthering biofilms and the microflora/-fauna in shrimp tanks Further, these bacteria will use the oxygen dissolved in the water. If you do not fix the aeration system, the scarcity of oxygen may kill your shrimp. One of the problems with tiny shrimplets is that they do not move around the aquarium as adults do. Baby shrimp prefer to stay in their zones where they can hide and feel safe. This type of behavior can deprive them of access to food if it is on the other side of the tank.

I’ve noted down all the benefits of Bacter AE. These will help you determine the worth of your shrimp. One of the most crucial roles of Bacter AE is to promote biofilm in the tank. When you apply an overdose of Bacter AE, there will be a bloom of biofilm. As a result, the overdosing may deplete the oxygen level of the tank. The specific bacteria they use, and most products use is Bacillus subtilis, Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus)

The Glas Garten Bacter AE Micro Powder Water Additive should be used as a supplementary food as it adds amino acids, enzymes and microorganisms into your shrimp tank. These will promote biofilm growth, which your shrimps plenty of proteins and probiotic digestive bacteria when they graze on it. Assuming everything is constant (e.i. temperature nearly does not fluctuate, water parameters do not change, and no over feeding) your shrimps and bacterias in your tank will be in harmony and thrive. Adding Bacter AE or other lived-bacteria containing products may destroy this if misuse. Bacillus subtitles is known as obligate aerobe, which means that they require oxygen to grow. In the case of Bacter AE, Bacillus subtitles will activate using oxygen. I have not found any study on this. But my guess is that the Bacillus subtitles will use up oxygen in the tank so fast than oxygen diffusing in water. This means that you have to initiate a means of enhancing mass transfer of oxygen to water by means of water agitation.

The first of which is how long you have been using Bacter AE. Glas Garten, the company behind this product, recommends using half the recommended amount during the first week. Oh, and it doesn't have live organisms. It's dormant, and only becomes live in tank water after a few days. If anything, the beneficial bacteria is the same as the stuff you'd find in yogurt. Every living organism uses amino acids to build a huge variety of useful things (proteins) within our bodies. Some proteins make up your muscles. Others transmit signals through the body. We could go on, but let’s just leave it at proteins are integral to life as we know it so getting enough of them is incredibly important.

Quick Summary

Introduces bacteria to speed up biofilm production: In general, there are 2 types of boosters. Bacter Ae falls into the 2nd group (see below). It introduces 2 common types of bacteria in addition to other ingredients such as amino acids and vitamins. Kordon's Fish Therapy Bath - use of citrus oils (oils include citrus, neem, and lavender oils) to treat termites, fleas, etc. Lavender Oil also has repellent abilities. Neem oil is reported to be effective as an insecticide as well as some anti-inflammation properties, anti-fungal and limited anti-bacterial.

When it comes to feeding, Glas Garten has different instructions based on home many shrimps you have in your aquarium. It works as an energy source for shrimp. Like other ingredients, amylase also plays a significant role in the digestion system of shrimp. 4. Xylanase

Feeding Instructions

So, if you can only get one of these products, then we recommend getting the Shrimp Baby Food as it provides a more complete meal for both your juvenile and adult shrimps. So all in all, if you want proper results then it is most probably the one supplement that you have to have for your tank. We generally cannot see biofilm with the naked eye as it is very thin but when biofilm multiplies like crazy. It is a type of white slime and this is a paradise for your shrimp. What are the Ingredients of Bacter AE? Pretty much all the same. The only bacteria that can survive in a bottle or in dry powdered form and be revived in water is Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus. (sidenote: These bacteria types are very tolerant of a wide range in pH and temps. That's why they can survive in the digestive system. ) Mosura BT-9 appears to be a mixture of bacteria found in aquariums to supplement your contained ecosystem to prevent sludge, increase ammonia-Nitrite-Nitrogen conversion cycle and to outcompete pathogenic bacteria for food by established colonies that are present rather than growth speed. Because none of the ingredients are disclosed it is impossible to say what is in BT-9, but based on my experiments, it is the slower growing aquatic bacteria, but it does form a nice biofilm over time if you do not have large shrimp populations that strip it bare. I cannot comment on other ingredients in the product as it is not disclosed. Overdosing fouls the water.
