AqueonShrimp Essentials 4 Fluid Ounces

I live in an area with really soft tap water, so all my shrimp would usually die after their first molt. However, after finding this, my shrimp are flourishing.I find that this bottle gets used up really quick, I wish it was more concentrated. 5mL per gallon gives you about 23 gallons of use. For me, that's about 5 water changes, which is a month for a small tank. At least it's fairly cheap.

Exactly what my shrimpies needed! I actually got this after adding the cherries to my first tank and they perked up immediately. They've had more successful molts and I like to think this is the reason. Will purchase again!

These minerals help shrimp molt. If they can't molt they get the white rings of death and won't survive. This small size is good for 5 gal tank for about two months of water changes for water quality and health.

Easy to use, makes RO water recharged for living the shrimp life properly. The cost is pretty low so the fact that it goes fast isn’t a huge deal but the ingredients have “artificial” color added.This is offputting and something I would have passed on had I know this prior. There is a pink color added to the mix for some reason and I’m pretty sure my shrimps would prefer to not have that. That coupled with how much you need to use and how small the bottles are is an unnecessary waste and monetary upkeep. These things made me take off a star. It is convenient if your in a pinch cause local pet shop may have it on the shelf. That said, I’ll use this up but when it’s finished i have already bought the “saltyshrimp gh+/kh+“ for future water changes and long term remineralization solutions.

Can’t live without this

HOWEVER... my shrimp have been much more active, I have had one death since starting this product 6 months ago. It's so much easier to use (for me) than the powder... especially if you're in a hurry to add water or even worse, do a change... I tried the powder and was having constant deaths, failed molts... My ONLY complaint is that after checking the GH and KH, it was low using the company's suggested amounts. I use twice as much when I do a water change... but... face it... that's REALLY not that often! I mostly do top offs and you don't need to add it then. And the salty container? I use it to prop up the handle on my skillet because my stove is slightly off kilter. I'll never go back. One person mentioned artificial color. I'm not a fan of it, but it doesn't seem to be hurting my shrimp any. I went from 6 adult shrimp to over 20 at or almost-at breeding age and probably another 15 juveniles or babies in there... all because they're breeding. THey eat well... I'm well pleased.

The two bottles came. One was leaking, and one was missing the measuring cap.

Helps get them the micro nutrients they need. More will survive.
