How It Works
Over time, organic material such as uneaten food, plant debris, molts, and detritus can collect in aquarium substrate and filtration areas. Shrimp Waste-Away adds bacteria that help process this organic material when used as directed.
For best results, avoid overfeeding, maintain stable water parameters, and perform regular water changes. Shrimp aquariums can be sensitive to sudden changes, so start carefully and follow the product label.
Directions
Shake well before use. Add the recommended dose based on aquarium size and product instructions.
For aquariums with heavier buildup, follow the label directions carefully and avoid overdosing. Monitor shrimp behavior and water parameters during use.
