Rio Escuro by Brightwell Aquatics is an aquatic substrate that was designed specifically for shrimp and plants. This soil is for aquariums that require an acidic enviroment (pH of less than 7.0) and a low GH. It is suggested to use RO/DI or distilled water with this substrate in order to prolong the life and buffering ability.
We use Brightwell substrate in all of our Caridina aquariums that require a pH of less than 7.0. We have used this soil for years and have had consistent results. If you are looking for a substrate for your shrimp or planted aquarium, look no further as this is the best you will find.

Life:
I bought this bag along with the starter plant kit to have some extra substrate to keep everything down and it was the perfect amount and I even had a little extra. I planted everything then added water slowly and it barely put up any dust. It all filtered out in the night and is clear. I highly reccomend it with the plant pack or if you just need some extra. Perfect amount and good sized balls!

It seems to work really well, however as others have said it is a bit tricky to work with. I'd recommend only filling your water to slightly over the substrate level and then plant your plants before filling the rest of the way.
Great packaging! Thanks for the extra goodies as well :)
