Product Overview
SL-Aqua MORE SHRIMP! GH/KH Conditioner is a Taiwanese-made remineralizer designed specifically for Neocaridina shrimp. Developed by experts in Taiwan's shrimp breeding industry, this powder raises both GH and KH to create ideal conditions for Cherry Shrimp and all Neocaridina varieties. With efficient dosing and better value than German competitors, it's become a popular alternative among budget-conscious hobbyists who still want quality.
Detailed Review
SL-Aqua's playfully named MORE SHRIMP! product delivers serious performance for Neocaridina keeping. The formula is designed to replicate the harder, more alkaline waters that Cherry Shrimp and their color variants thrive in. The dosing efficiency is slightly better than Salty Shrimp GH/KH+, meaning you need a bit less product to achieve the same parameters. Combined with the lower price point, this translates to meaningful savings for hobbyists running multiple tanks or doing frequent water changes. Results are consistent - users report good breeding success and healthy molting across all Neocaridina varieties. The powder dissolves completely without residue, and the mineral profile supports both the GH (for molting) and KH (for pH stability) that Neocaridina need. The main tradeoff compared to Salty Shrimp is community knowledge base. You'll find fewer dosing discussions and troubleshooting threads for this product. However, for experienced keepers who understand their water chemistry, this is rarely an issue. Overall, MORE SHRIMP! is an excellent choice for Neocaridina keepers who want quality without paying Salty Shrimp prices.
