I'm looking to replace the substrate in my current tank from gravel to a soil type.
As the tank is already cycled (been running circa 6 months) I will be looking at temp removing the shrimp, fish (mainly shrimp) and plants , change the substrate over re plant and then replace the water (50% old water removed and 50% new) and then replace the stock.
As I will be looking to replace the stock straight away I'm looking for something that does not leach Ammonia etc in the first few weeks so that's ADA Amazonia out the question.
I was led to believe that EBI Gold would be OK but then found the following posted by Freshwater Shrimp on here
So my question is does anyone have any recommendations for something that meets the bill, maybe FSS?
Thanks

. EBI will leech some ammonia and nitrite, perfect source of plant food and to help you cycle your shrimp tank. Maximum Ammonia and nitrite level measured in our tests was Ammonia 2 PPM, Nitrite 1 PPM
