Unveiling the Benefits of Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum:

- Neutral to Slightly Acidic pH: Fluval Stratum naturally helps maintain a neutral to slightly acidic pH level, creating an ideal environment for most plant species and many popular freshwater fish and shrimp.
- Safe Haven for Shrimp: The intricate network of pores within Fluval Stratum provides newborn shrimp with a secure hiding place, allowing them to avoid predation until they reach maturity.
- Crystal-Clear Water: Fluval Stratum is specially formulated to prevent water discolouration and helps control organic discolouration sometimes associated with natural driftwood.
