Key benefits at a glance
- Long-lasting fertility through slow-release nutrients supports shrimp reproduction and healthy plant growth.
- Premium sintered natural mountain soil delivers excellent water permeability and a porous habitat for microorganisms.
- Helps manage water chemistry by reducing acidity and softening water, contributing to a stable tank environment.

Designed for aquascaping and shrimp tanks
- The fine texture (3–5 mm) offers stable root support for live aquarium plants and helps create a lush, vibrant landscape.
- Its porous structure fosters a micro‑ecosystem of microorganisms and bacteria that support plant and shrimp health.
- Ideal for crystal shrimp and planted tanks, blending visual appeal with practical habitat benefits.
- Initial water cloudiness is normal; with 2–3 water changes, clarity typically returns while keeping the substrate intact.
Setup tips and safety notes
- Pour directly into the fish tank—do not rinse the soil, to preserve beneficial nutrients and microorganisms.
- Water changes during the first days are recommended (daily for 3–5 days) to help stabilize the tank.
- After setup, ensure the water is changed at least three times before adding aquatic organisms.
- Recognize that shrimp success depends on multiple factors; the substrate is one part of a broader setup.
With its ready-to-use design and thoughtful balance of nutrients, Hygger CO2 Shrimp Soil provides a reliable base for a thriving, visually appealing aquascape. Expect a natural look and a dynamic underwater scene where live plants and shrimp can coexist with reduced maintenance time.
