I put a small dose of Shrimp Bacter in the Crystal tank this afternoon and the shrimp went crazy!!! Don't think I've ever seen them this active!

 

[sayurasem]

what is it called? what brand?

 

[tex627]

I'm interested in know as well. I bred shrimp a couple years back and never really believed in this stuff. I might give it a try if it works well for you!

 

[Jonnywhoop]

info please?

Its called Ebiten shrimp bacter

You will also see this in numerous Borneo wild products like bebi (ebi-bacter), shield, vital and their new line of substrate powders.

"Shrimp Bacter" is all that's written on the container, sorry!

(well, there's more, but it's Japanese... or maybe Chinese...)

You could take a quick pic and upload it if that would help.

I can translate either language if the image uploaded is high resolution.

Sorry... this night shift worker, day sleeper just woke up... Here are a couple pics. The label is in Japanese.

The smells a bit yeasty to me.

 

[Overgrowth]

Yep, that's definitely Japanese. Unfortunately I can't translate it enough since the Japanese language often substitutes Chinese characters for their own, and I wasn't born in Japan, so I don't know any. Sorry :/

How do you add it to the tank, just sprinkle it in?

 

[Rob in Puyallup]

Yup, it comes with it's own tiny spoon.

Well that Caution label is enough to make me not buy it lol...

 

[Darkblade48]

I think it's there because sometimes fruit flies or meal worms (maybe?) might (somehow...) get in.

Rather than tossing it and buying a new bag, the company says it's fine to continue using it....

 

[Rob in Puyallup]

It comes in a tiny zip lock bag. I've had it for at least a month and so far it's not drawing any critters but shrimp.

Looks like I need to use it more often! Lol

Probably Indian Meal Moths as they LOVE LOVE LOVE seeds, grain, flour, powdered milk, lots of good stuff.

And yeah, they're pretty harmless (if you're feeding critters, I personally don't want to digest meal moth larvae).

Off of an Aquabidding site.
