Karis Plant Soil – Black, 9L

Karis Plant Soil (Black, 9L) is an active aquarium substrate for planted and shrimp aquariums. Its porous, nutrient-rich granules anchor plant roots, encourage strong growth and help buffer water toward the slightly acidic, soft conditions many plants, shrimp and fish prefer. Rinse gently and layer as a base to build a thriving, natural-looking aquascape.

How much to buy

Choose between the 4-litre and 9-litre bags by working out the volume you need: multiply the tank’s length by its width and by the depth of soil you want, all in centimetres, then divide by 1,000 to get litres. Around 5 cm suits most rooted plants, so a 60 x 30 cm tank needs roughly 9 litres. Because the soil pushes water towards soft, slightly acidic conditions, it suits plants, shrimp and soft-water fish, but not species such as African cichlids that need hard, alkaline water. Fill the tank slowly over a plate or bag to avoid stirring up the granules, and avoid deep gravel vacuuming, which can break them down.
