Polyfilter is a highly effective filtration medium that is widely used in aquariums. It is designed to absorb a wide range of impurities from the water, including ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, heavy metals, and organic waste. The unique structure of Polyfilter allows it to selectively remove harmful substances without stripping the water of essential elements such as trace minerals.
Despite being relatively small in size, a Polyfilter pad can filter up to 300 liters of aquarium water over a period of 3 months.
While 1 Large Pad of Polyfilter can filter up to 1300 liters of aquarium water over a period of 3 months.
This is due to its high absorbency and capacity to change color as it gets saturated with contaminants, which acts as a visual indicator for replacement. The small pad can work efficiently because it continuously draws in water, ensuring that the entire tank volume gets treated over time, helping maintain optimal water quality with minimal maintenance.
Polyfilter is also widely praised for its ability to work in both saltwater and freshwater aquariums, making it versatile for hobbyists who keep different types of aquatic systems. Since it doesn’t rely on mechanical filtration alone, it’s especially useful in aquariums that might experience sudden spikes in waste or toxins.
One of the key features of Polyfilter is its ability to change color based on the type of contaminants it is absorbing, which provides a visual cue for what’s being removed from the water. As it becomes saturated with different substances, the filter turns distinct colors:
• Brown: Indicates the removal of organic waste or debris.
• Green: Signals the absorption of ammonia, which is highly toxic to fish.
• Blue: Points to the extraction of copper, often present in medications used in aquariums.
• Red: Shows the removal of iron or other heavy metals.
• Yellow: Indicates the absorption of excess phosphate, which can lead to algae growth.
This color-changing property makes it easy to monitor the water’s condition and tells you when the filter is nearing its capacity. Once fully saturated, the pad will need to be replaced to ensure continued effective filtration. The color variation is especially helpful for detecting hidden issues, like toxic metal contamination, that might not be immediately noticeable.

However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.

The long finned Cory's are amazing. Beautiful condition and their tails are stunning.
Received in great condition although was missing a few. That issue got fixed quite quickly. Very happy with them.
Arrived in excellent condition. They're enjoying swimming around in their new tank.
Arrived in excellent condition and great addition to my tanks.
I’m a many times repeat customer here. As always, these were a perfectly healthy group of animals. I am always blown away by how little stress they seem to experience, adjusting to my tanks immediately. Will be back again!
