Fluval Betta Stratum Aquarium Soil

Fluval Betta Stratum Aquarium Soil is collected from the mineral rich foothills of the famous Mont Aso Volcano in Japan. It is the ideal substrate for stimulating the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater aquariums - plant roots can easily penetrate and spread throughout the substrate, allowing plants to obtain a variety of key, readily available nutrients that will make them flourish. The substrate's light, non-compacting, porous structure is also highly beneficial to nitrifying bacteria, providing optimal water quality for plants. Fluval Betta Stratum's inherent properties will help support a neutral to slightly acidic pH, ideal for most plant species and species of tropical fish or shrimp normally kept in planted aquariums. It also provides new born shrimp with the ideal refuge, allowing them to escape predation until they are large enough to emerge. This highly attractive substrate will not discolour water and helps control organic discoloration usually present when natural driftwood is used.
