What type of aquarium soil is the best for shrimps???

Mix only if you're doing it with a purpose in mind and knowing what that combination will do. Personally, I will use only one type at a time, to rule out surprises and trouble-shooting later on.

I using mosura soil, bought it from colorful.. Good, hmm , I never used benibachi soil so can't comment much. I used before gex and Ada.. Both this soil need to cycle first but for mosura, I pour it in and after tank water clear, which take 1 day... It's clear quite fast.. I put my crs in staight away.. Till now, they still kicking. =)
I prefer the color of the mosura soil too.. I did query green chapter why they Dnt bring in... They never rePly me, hahaha, they just mention the soil if they sell. Will be very expensive
