Bacter Ball is a sphere shape substrate additive made from Bacter 100. You can place it on the substrate and inside the biological filtration system. It helps keeping healthy condition of fish and shrimp nibbling on Bacter Ball.

ADA Bacter Ball for Substrate and Filter Health

Bacter Ball packs the same bacterial blend as Bacter 100 into convenient spheres, which makes dosing simple for hobbyists who do not want to measure loose powder. We suggest placing them on the substrate surface or tucking them into the canister media basket, where they help maintain an active biological environment. Shrimp and small fish often graze on them too, which is a useful bonus for keepers of cherry and other ornamental shrimp colonies.

The 18-piece pack suits the nano and mid-size planted tanks common in local homes, letting you top up periodically rather than treating the whole bed at once. In our warm 27-29C water bacterial colonisation is brisk, so you will not need many at a time. Think of them as ongoing maintenance for substrate vitality rather than a quick cure, used alongside good filtration and regular water changes.
