It promotes biofilm development essential for shrimp offspring survival, improves nutrient absorption, and detoxifies the water. Made in Germany with over 25 years of aquarist experience, it offers precise dosing for various stocking densities, ensuring a healthy, crystal-clear aquatic environment. ## Description GlasGarten - Bacter AEBacter AE Micro Powder adds important microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes to your aquarium. Bacter AE improves the water quality and increases the development of the biofilm required by shrimps and especially their offspring. This resulting biofilm ensures a constantly available, protein-rich food supply, which increases the survival rate of juvenile shrimps in particular and enables healthy development. In addition, the probiotic bacteria in Bacter AE improve the animals' nutrient uptake and regulate digestion.The bacterial cultures contained in Bacter AE Micro Powder are in a kind of "dormant state" and become active immediately on contact with water. They remove harmful substances and, together with the harmonised ingredients, ensure a good microclimate in the aquarium.Dosage (per approx. 120 litres)- for low stocking density: 1/2 measuring spoon* once a day- for normal stocking density: 1 measuring spoon* once a day- with high stocking density: 2x daily 1 measuring spoon*We recommend starting with half the dosage for approx. one week when using Bacter AE for the first time.* 1 measuring spoon corresponds to approx. 0.5gCompositionAmino acids, polysaccharides, xylanase, glucanase, amylase, protease, hemicellulase, Bacillus subtilis, Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus)Contents140 g (measuring spoon included)Made in Germany Review: Very good for baby shrimp. You only need a tiny bit may be 25% of the recommended dose. Very good quality container and ingredients. Review: Unlike pellets that the big shrimp hog, this dusts everything—moss, glass, and sponge filters—meaning baby shrimp can eat wherever they hide. It’s a five-star, high-quality essential for anyone breeding shrimp. Since I started using it, I’ve seen way more babies reach adulthood. This is a really well-engineered product that makes the water crystal clear by boosting the micro-flora. It creates a fantastic grazing environment. My only minor note is a 'human-alike' warning: the instructions tell you to use a full scoop, but that is far too much for most tanks and can crash your oxygen levels. ## Features - WATER SUPPLEMENT: With Bacter AE you add important microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes to your aquarium.

You only need a tiny bit may be 25% of the recommended dose. Very good quality container and ingredients. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***X on 16 February 2026* Unlike pellets that the big shrimp hog, this dusts everything—moss, glass, and sponge filters—meaning baby shrimp can eat wherever they hide. It’s a five-star, high-quality essential for anyone breeding shrimp. Since I started using it, I’ve seen way more babies reach adulthood. This is a really well-engineered product that makes the water crystal clear by boosting the micro-flora. It creates a fantastic grazing environment. My only minor note is a 'human-alike' warning: the instructions tell you to use a full scoop, but that is far too much for most tanks and can crash your oxygen levels. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***N on 15 October 2025* This product is a miracle for the shrimp tank. I grew over 1000 shrimps from a single 60cm tank this year using this product. Baby survival rate skyrockets with this product. However less is more with this. DO NOT USE AS RECOMMENDED, you will kill all your livestock. Use only 1/4 or less of the recommended dose. Causes the oxygen level to drop if used too much at once. I would recommend using every other day instead of daily ## Frequently Bought Together - Glasgarten Bacter AE 140G Biofilm Micro Powder/Water Additive for Freshwater Shrimp Aquarium - GlasGarten Shrimp Fit - GlasGarten Shrimp Baby Food 70g --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/661652361-bacter-ae-140g-new-size](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/661652361-bacter-ae-140g-new-size) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
