Nisso Plant Soil Black

Nisso Plant Soil Black

Nisso Plant Soil Black is a premium substrate made in Japan, specially formulated for planted freshwater aquariums and shrimp setups. Its rich, nutrient‑packed soil supports healthy root development while helping create ideal water conditions for delicate plants and invertebrates.

Key Features

• Nutrient‑rich soil, including fulvic and humic acids, which support vigorous plant growth
• Contains bentonite clay; acts like a sponge to absorb excess nutrients and help establish beneficial bacteria
• Naturally lowers pH, GH (general hardness), and KH (carbonate hardness), creating a slightly acidic environment ideal for many aquatic plants and shrimp
• Low‑dust formula, so minimal cloudiness when first used; ready to use straight out of the bag
• Durable granules that resist crumbling under plant roots or gravel/stone pressure
• Deep black colour enhances the contrast of plants and shrimp, improving visual appeal

Specifications & Sizes

• Available in 1 kg, 3 kg, and 8 kg bags
• Colour: Black
• Intended for planted and shrimp aquariums

Usage & Care Tips

• Use a substrate depth of 3–5 cm to allow roots to spread
• Add plants immediately or shortly after filling; the nutrient content supports early growth
• Regular water changes help maintain water clarity and prevent buildup of unwanted compounds
• When using freshly packaged soil, there may be some initial leaching (affecting pH or water clarity) — monitor and allow to stabilise
• Avoid heavy disturbance of the soil during maintenance to protect root systems

Ideal For

• Aquarists with planted freshwater tanks wanting healthy, lush growth
• Shrimp keepers who prefer slightly acidic and softer water parameters
• Setups where aesthetic contrast between substrate and plants/fish/shrimp is desired
• Medium to large tanks (offers 8 kg options for deeper or larger substrates) but also works in nano or smaller tanks using the 1 kg size

Natural. Nutrient‑rich. Beautifully dark.
With Nisso Plant Soil Black, you get both function and form — giving plants what they need while making your aquascape look great.
