Biofilm in the Aquarium: The Natural Food for Your Shrimp

Biofilm in the Aquarium: The Natural Food for Your Shrimp

- Categories : News

What is biofilm in an aquarium?

If you observe your aquarium shrimp (Neocaridina, Caridina, Amano shrimp), you will notice that they spend their days "grazing" on the decor, plants, and glass. They are actually feeding on biofilm. This is a thin film, almost invisible to the naked eye, composed of purifying bacteria, microalgae, and micro-organisms. It is the most natural, healthy, and nutrient-rich food for your invertebrates.

How to develop a rich, high-quality biofilm?

Biofilm takes time to establish itself naturally. To create an abundant biofilm without any risk of polluting your water, biology provides the answer: you must combine specific bacterial strains with live phytoplankton.

This is exactly the mission of the Shrimp Breeding Kit (Bactofresh + PhytoShrimp) developed by the Daphbio® laboratory.

The perfect synergy: Bactofresh and PhytoShrimp

By introducing this 100% biological kit into your aquarium, you simultaneously provide the two living foundations necessary for the massive creation of this vital resource:

  • Bactofresh's action: These live bacteria will purify the water, break down waste, and form the healthy bacterial base of the biofilm.
  • PhytoShrimp's action: This exclusive blend of organically cultivated microalgae will anchor onto this base to develop the plant-based biofilm, providing continuous nutrition.
  • Balance and Color: The combination of these two products guarantees crystal-clear water, respects your shrimp's natural grazing behavior, strengthens their immune system, and boosts their coloration.

Give your shrimp an environment as close as possible to their natural habitat: stop leaving nutrition to chance and recreate a true ecosystem with the power of our live Kit!
