100g Dead Shrimp Powder (DSP).
DSP is a bacterial powder from famous Taiwanese breeder Tai Cheng also used by Shrimps Affair and myself Shrimp Mania. It source of nutrients and vitamins for the shrimp and dust algae which grow on the walls. That's a perfect food for newborn shrimp which increases their survival rate.
DSP provides a source of food for microflora and fauna which is crucial to the ecosystem. YOU WILL SEE A COPEPODS IN 3-5 DAYS!!! On the other hand, DSP can also be used as a food and vitamin for shrimp and shrimplet and for growing green walls in your tank (essential food for your baby shrimp)
This powder works great to start a new tank for Caridina, Neocaridina and Sulawesi shrimp. It works best with under gravel filtration method but It can also work with sponge filters and/or in existing setups.
For an existing setup, a few steps need to be followed: fast-growing plants should be removed and only some amount of mosses and slow-growing plants are great to have. I would suggest placing the filter outtake 3/4 - 1 inch (1-2cm) above the water surface to increase dissolved oxygen.
USAGE:
I usually dose the bacteria weekly after a water change only a little bit, you can do biweekly for existing setups. 0.2g up to 10 gal and 0.4g up to 20 gal would be enough.
0.2 g (10gal tank) Measuring spoon plus moisture absorber are now included in the package!!
You can do a double dose in the very beginning. Be aware of freshwater limpets! They can scrape algae faster than it grow if you have them in your tank. I would suggest resetting or constantly squashing them but they are immortal only bleach can help.
I've been using this powder for over 2 years now and it constantly provides my shrimp with biofilm and the walls in most of my tanks are always green.
When setting up a new tank:
Sprinkle DSP evenly over the soil (0.7g gram of powder for each 10L tank volume). Then fill the water up, turn the filters on, and complete the cycling process. I normally do 50% of the water change weekly or biweekly during the cycle and add a little bit of bacterial powder (0.3g) after each water change. The water can become cloudy for a week or so which is normal. It should clear out at the end. If not just do a major water change.
You will receive 100g of Bacterial powder in the sealed zip bag with the manufacturing sticker.
Made in Taiwan, packed in the UK. Measuring spoon and silica gel moisture absorber incl. The shelf life is 1 year if used from the original package, I would suggest moving it into a small airtight container or jar to extend its life.
