Aquasoil, Tropica plant growth substrate or other for shrimps

[crip_tic]

Hi, I'm leaning towards tropica plant growth substrate for my lightly planted Nano tank which will have shrimps - then I hear that aqua soil has been good for shrimp keepers.... what do people think?

or do I stick to moss etc and forget plants that want to be 'planted' as such?

This is my first proper go at a planted tank.

Cheers

Aquasoil is perfect for shrimps, all types, but I hate it in my planted tanks.

Hi, welcome to the forum
Plants will grow in either,the Tropica will need capping.
Some aqua soils will leach ammonia for the first couple of weeks.
What type of shrimps?

I'm going to top with Fluval shrimp substrate - going to go for RC mostly - maybe some Rilli if the Cherry settle ok. I've had RC and Tigers before which did really well in a community tank but now I want a second tank just for them to have a go at planting. 🙂
