Ideal for shrimp, crabs, and other small aquatic species, it supports healthy breeding and water remineralization. Trusted by over 1,800 users with a 4.7-star rating, this product ensures stable water conditions for thriving aquatic life. ## Description Product Description SaltyShrimp - Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ has been specially developed for the production of neutral aquarium water for keeping and breeding shrimp and is used for the remineralisation of e.g. osmosis water, rainwater, fully demineralised water, etc. It increases the total hardness (°dGH) and the carbonate hardness (KH). It increases the total hardness (°dGH) and carbonate hardness (KH) in the ratio °dGH/KH 1.0/0.5, i.e. shrimp from habitats with neutral pH value (approx. pH approx. 7) feel particularly comfortable. Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ contains all the essential minerals and trace elements your shrimp need for health, colourfulness, good reproduction rate and growth. It promotes plant growth and microbial regeneration in organic filter substrates. Areas of use: Stir mineral salt into water outside the aquarium. Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ dissolves almost completely in a few seconds, then the water is ready for use. Add any undissolved particles to the aquarium. Close the tin immediately after each use, as the mineral salt attracts moisture. Dosage: Curing of osmosis water, rainwater, fully demineralised water, etc. with Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ to approx. 6° dGH and/or a conductivity of approx. 300 +/- 50 µS (Microsiemens), which is about a lacquered measuring spoon (approx. 2 g) per 10 litres of water. Package includes: - 100 g (enough for approx. 500 litres of aquarium water, or 3,000 hardness litres °dGH and 1,500 hardness litres KH). Directions Add 1 level spoonful (approx. 2g) of Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ per 10 liters of water (neutral pH environments, such as RO water, rainwater, or fully desalinated water) Review: The Perfect Balance for Cherry Shrimp—Dissolves Instantly and Stops Molting Failures! - If you keep or breed Neocaridina shrimp (like Cherry, Blue Dream, or Yellow King Kongs) or hardwater fish, SaltyShrimp Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ is an absolute lifesaver. Trying to use erratic tap water can cause sudden shedding disasters, but this premium mineral powder creates the exact, stable parameters your colony needs to thrive. Here is why this German-engineered formula deserves a perfect 5 stars: • Ideal Dual GH and KH Remineralisation: Unlike the softwater-specific GH+ version, this formula perfectly raises both General Hardness (GH) and Carbonate Hardness (KH) in a masterfully balanced 1:0.5 ratio. It provides the essential calcium and magnesium required for strong shell growth, while simultaneously buffering the water to maintain a stable, neutral-to-slightly-alkaline pH (around 7.0–7.5) that Neocaridinas love. • Dissolves Flawlessly with Zero Residue: This powder is beautifully fine-milled and premium grade. It mixes smoothly into reverse osmosis (RO), distilled, or rain water outside the tank in just a few quick stirs. You don't have to wait hours for it to clear, and it leaves absolutely no stubborn, undissolved white sludge at the bottom of your mixing bucket. • Virtually Eliminates the "White Ring of Death": Since swapping over to this remineraliser, my shrimp have had 100% flawless, zero-failure molting cycles. The rich infusion of natural trace elements has noticeably deepened their shell pigmentation, boosted adult immunity, and given me much higher shrimplet survival rates. • Keeps the Biological Filter Highly Efficient: The precise blend of minerals doesn't just benefit the shrimp; it actively feeds and supports your beneficial nitrifying filter bacteria. It ensures your biological cycle remains rock-solid and prevents dangerous mini-cycles or ammonia spikes. • Incredible Dosing Efficiency: A tiny bit of this salt goes an exceptionally long way. The enclosed measuring spoon makes dosing completely foolproof—one even scoop (approx. 2g) treats 10 litres of water to hit an ideal ~6 °dGH, 3 °dKH, and a crisp target conductivity. This 200g tub treats roughly 1,000 litres of water, making it phenomenal value for money. It completely takes the guesswork out of water changes and keeps your tank ecosystem in perfect harmony. If you want healthy, active shrimp that breed constantly, this tub is worth every single penny. Don't settle for cheaper, unstable alternatives—this is the absolute best on the market!

Neos need 7ph and ro water comes out with 6.5** A: No it won’t raise the ph in the water! This puts minerals back in the water especially if you have shrimps, crayfish, snails and plants! Read the instructions carefully with the amount to the gallons your aquarium is! I use it all the time just for my tropical fish which brightens their color! Think of it as giving them a vitamin! I also love Seachem products! I’ve had aquariums since I’m 8 years old and their products are amazing! Get Seachem Equilibrium for mineral &Gh balance! Seachem Prime OMG!! Amazing to keep your biological filter healthy along with Pristine! To make it easier to keep a steady 7.0 ph balance get Seachem Neutral Regulator 7.0 All the best! **Q: Can i use this on a ro planted betta tank?** A: Yes, if the GH and KH of your water are lower than the recommended parameters for Bettas, as is usually the case with RO/DI water, then mixing this with your water changes will raise the GH and KH accordingly. Do not add to your top off water, though. Unless you know for sure that your tank's minerals have depleted, then only pure RODI or distilled water should be used when you're topping off your water levels due to evaporation. **Q: Does this have calcium in it? Shrimp and snails need a calcium supplement so I was wondering if this will be sufficient.** A: It adds all important minerals to your water. I would use a dietary supplement that is designed to provide extra nutrients so the shrimp have a healthy molt. I highly recommend the brand “Glass Garten” shrimp food. Bacteria ae is a must to add biofilm the shrimp need to live. Best of luck. **Q: Can this product cause an increase in ammonia and nitrites?** A: No just a dirty filter that needs to be maintained! Fish waste and uneaten food causes ammonia and not doing water changes! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Balance for Cherry Shrimp—Dissolves Instantly and Stops Molting Failures! *by A***Y on 27 October 2026* If you keep or breed Neocaridina shrimp (like Cherry, Blue Dream, or Yellow King Kongs) or hardwater fish, SaltyShrimp Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ is an absolute lifesaver.
