I’m new to shrimping, and am sad to say I have killed my fair share due to molting issues. I drip acclimated for hours, I tried every sort of gh/kh additive, all different foods, water conditioners, crushed coral, all different kinds of plants, the almond leaves, heater, no heater, every kind of moss known to man, and I just could not for the life of me keep a healthy colony.
I started reading every review for every single shrimp food on this website and this one, (I bought Bacter AE too) seemed to be the most helpful for acclimation. I have been using it for about a month, a pinch twice a day, and I haven’t had one death! I wake up every morning looking for the dreaded white ring of death with someone laying on their side, but now i wake up to active, healthy and happy skrimpers who now eat all the different foods I tried before! Whenever I notice they’re hiding, I put a little pinch in, they all come out, it’s amazing! I also put a pinch in when I drip acclimated the last bunch and voilà, it was a hit! I wish I bought this product earlier, but now I will never go without it. Well, my shrimp won’t :)
