Features:
Akadama soil, sourced from Kanuma's volcanic ash soil and enriched with live bacteria, is the perfect solution for outdoor breeding.
Its hard granulated texture ensures long-lasting durability with minimal crumbling, reducing the need for frequent water changes and clean-ups.
The live bacteria in the soil are instrumental in breaking down waste, such as feces, to keep the water pristine and clear, creating a healthy environment for your medaka fish & aquatic friends.
Akadama soil is a top choice for outdoor breeding setups as it offers a low-maintenance solution.
Its nutrient-free composition makes it difficult for moss to grow, relieving you from the worry of constant cleaning and maintenance.

Usage Guidelines:

This product is made by granulating natural soil, so there is fine powder in the package.
Please set it in the following way as it may cause turbidity.
1. Transfer this product to a bucket, etc., slowly immerse it in tap water, discard the brown, turbid water, and carefully place it in an aquarium or pot so that it does not crumble.
2. Place a cushioning material such as a plate or Styrofoam board on top of it and gently add water. After adding water, do not stir the soil.
3. After setting, the soil particles will fly and the water will become cloudy, but the cloudiness will disappear within a few days and the water will become clear.
If you use a filter, the particles that cause the cloudiness will get caught on the filter mat, so wash the mat with water before use.
*If you do not use a filter, the cloudiness may be difficult to remove, but it will not affect the fish.
*Although it depends on the usage environment, we recommend replacing it every year.
*It is more effective if you use it in an aquarium with a filter or aeration to increase the activity of the filtering bacteria.
*Electrical products cannot be used when raising outdoors.
