Collected from the mineral-rich foothills of Mount Aso Volcano in Japan, Fluval Stratum makes an ideal alternative substrate for planted aquariums and those featuring shrimp.
KEY FEATURES

Helps support neutral to slightly acidic pH - ideal for most plants, tropical fish and shrimp normally kept in planted aquariums
Provides newborn shrimp with a refuge from predators until they are large enough to emerge
Will not discolor water and helps control organic discoloration when natural driftwood is present
For use in freshwater aquariums
Recommended depth : 1.18 – 1.57 in (3-4 cm)
