Humic substances stabilize the pH of the aquarium water at 5.5 to 6.5 - which is ideal for bee shrimp and other shrimp from biotopes with soft water. In addition, humic substances act against bacteria and fungal diseases, they support the immune system of aquarium animals. Humins make water suitable for biotopes and they strengthen the function of mucous membranes of fish, crayfish, snails and shrimps. Furthermore, humic substances increase the stress resistance of aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish, snails and shrimps, which helps them, among other things, to better tolerate toxins such as copper and other heavy metals - this is of particular interest for the sensitive dwarf shrimps. Humic substances also increase the metabolic activity of aquarium animals, which leads not only to a better immune system, but also to smoother molting processes, higher reproduction rates and more surviving young.
