Aquaculture Treat (AQ) is a high-CFU shrimp pond probiotic formulated for broad performance across water temperatures, salinity levels, and pond conditions. The facultative and aerobic strains rapidly colonize the water column and pond bottom, releasing enzymes that hydrolyze uneaten feed, feces, and other organics. Our aquaculture probiotic for shrimp lowers BOD, reduces sludge accumulation, clarifies water, and stabilizes key parameters. As a shrimp pond water treatment bacteria blend, AQ delivers consistently cleaner, more stable ponds that support healthier animals, more predictable performance, and stronger returns throughout the culture cycle.
Shrimp and fish ponds face constant challenges from heavy organic loading, sludge accumulation, and fluctuating water quality parameters. Uneaten feed, feces, and dead plankton increase BOD and COD, while ammonia buildup creates demand for reliable shrimp pond ammonia control solutions. Excess nitrite further stresses animals, reducing survival rates and profitability. Anaerobic pond bottoms release hydrogen sulfide and other foul-smelling gases, highlighting the need for effective odor control and pond sludge reduction bacteria to maintain healthy conditions. Without consistent shrimp pond bioaugmentation, variable salinity, high stocking densities, and seasonal water temperatures destabilize pond performance, driving up costs for aeration, water exchange, and corrective treatments.
Aquaculture Treat (AQ) is a high-CFU, spore-forming Bacillus probiotic for shrimp ponds engineered for reliable aquaculture water treatment. The facultative and aerobic strains thrive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-limited zones, ensuring consistent pond bioaugmentation under real-world culture conditions. AQ improves nitrogen cycling by supporting microbial uptake of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate while stabilizing water chemistry for clearer, healthier ponds. The result is consistently cleaner, more stable ponds that support healthier animals, more predictable performance, and higher farmer profitability through stronger yields, improved survival, and reduced operating costs.
The microbes in AQ are selected for high enzyme activity (protease, lipase, amylase, and cellulase) to degrade proteins, fats, starches, and fibrous residues. This reduces sludge buildup, clarifies pond water, and limits odor-causing compounds like hydrogen sulfide. AQ also acts as a biofloc probiotic for shrimp, enhancing microbial balance, supporting stronger floc formation, and improving water stability.
Routine AQ application delivers measurable returns for shrimp and fish producers by providing reliable, beneficial bacteria for shrimp farming.
AQ microbes actively reduce the root causes of water imbalances and pond odors, functioning as effective odor control bacteria for ponds.
AQ contains specialized pond sludge reduction bacteria that digest settled waste to maintain pond bottoms.
AQ strengthens pond performance by delivering TAN reduction and stabilizing water chemistry.

Application Guidelines
A: Aquaculture Treat (AQ) is a high-CFU aquaculture and shrimp pond probiotic formulated to improve pond water quality, sludge control, and animal survival. It contains facultative and aerobic Bacillus strains that colonize both the water column and pond bottom. These strains secrete protease, lipase, amylase, and cellulase enzymes to break down uneaten feed, feces, and plankton waste, while functioning as probiotic bacteria for shrimp ponds to stabilize nitrogen cycling and support biofloc formation.
A: Standard pond bacteria are not optimized for the high organic loads and ammonia/nitrite spikes found in shrimp culture. AQ is specifically designed as a Bacillus probiotic for shrimp systems, delivering targeted benefits such as shrimp pond ammonia control, sludge digestion, odor reduction, and more consistent pH and dissolved oxygen stability.
A: AQ provides measurable economic benefits:
A: AQ bacteria support core biological processes that improve pond stability:
A: Yes. AQ provides reliable shrimp pond nitrite control and helps reduce TAN in shrimp ponds through microbial uptake. It also works to lower BOD and COD in aquaculture ponds, preventing oxygen crashes and reducing stress on shrimp.
A: Yes. By maintaining stable water quality, our AQ probiotic helps producers grow larger shrimp, supporting better FCR in shrimp farming and stronger profitability per cycle.
A: Yes. AQ is an all-natural, non-GMO, antibiotic-free shrimp probiotic that is safe for shrimp, fish, hatcheries, ponds, and the surrounding environment.
A: Many farms notice improved water clarity and odor reduction within 1–2 weeks of dosing. Sludge reduction, improved biofloc, and more stable ammonia/nitrite levels are typically observed within 1–2 months, depending on feeding rates, biomass, and pond conditions.
A: Yes. AQ is effective as a shrimp hatchery probiotic, nursery probiotic for post-larvae, and grow-out pond probiotic. It helps stabilize water quality across all life stages, from hatchery tanks to full-scale production ponds.
A: Yes. AQ has proven value as a probiotic for whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and as a tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) probiotic. It is also suitable for other aquaculture species, including freshwater prawns like Macrobrachium rosenbergii.
A: Yes. AQ is designed for flexibility and can be used as a biofloc probiotic for shrimp, RAS aquaculture probiotic, or earthen pond probiotic for shrimp. Its facultative Bacillus strains adapt well across salinity levels, temperatures, and oxygen conditions.
A: Yes. AQ is often used to reduce water exchange in biofloc systems and semi-intensive ponds, lowering pumping costs and improving sustainability.
A: Yes. AQ helps maintain stable pH and alkalinity in shrimp ponds while improving DO balance, reducing the need for emergency aeration.
A: AQ can be supplied in multiple dosing formats:
A: Yes. AQ shrimp pond probiotic is offered in wholesale, bulk, and private-label formats.
A: You can buy AQ directly from us in bulk, wholesale, OEM, and private-label formats, with domestic and international shipping. We supply farms, hatcheries, integrators, and distributors, and are a trusted shrimp probiotic supplier for both domestic and export markets.
A: Contact our sales team to request a quote or sample. AQ is available in standard CFU concentrations as well as high-CFU 50B and 100B shrimp pond probiotic formulations.
