Since shrimp will eat biofilm, algae, microorganisms first, the primary concern in a shrimp aquarium is to feed the bacteria and create a strong ecosystem. Microbes & Enzymes, Lubaos, GlasGarten Bacter AE, Bee pollen are some of the products that will contribute to that (Shirakura Chi Ebi too). Do you need them all? No. For example, if I use a lubao, I will not use often other products from this category. If I don’t use lubao, I will put some Bacter AE for biofilm, and ShrimpFit in specific situations. So using all these products together is not the goal, but they are all part of what I have available for the needs of the moment; each aquarium is different, has its peculiarities. Some of the products here have more than one function. See each of them for more details.
