Seachem StressGuard Slime Coat Protection - Stress and Toxic Ammonia Reducer 100ml / 3.4 oz

My betta had a severe tear in their tail fin and this product healed it completely within about two weeks of use following the directions and doing water changes more often as in one every two to three days. The key detail here is regular water changes during this time! A fish with an injury needs clean water with stressguard, stressguard alone will not heal the fish. This is because it acts more like a bandage, when we have a bandage on we have to keep the wound clean and it is the same here. Dirty water with bacteria or fungus may lead to infections which will slow down healing since the fish will be more focused on fighting an infection instead of healing that torn fin, that is why pristine water is the other side of the coin. I recommend this product, it does not negatively impact fish, crustaceans, plants, the filtration, or the established nitrifying bacteria in the tank. To my knowledge this is the only product of its kind, API has a stress coat but it is really just aloe vera which promotes healing but does not protect the wound. This actually acts as a protein bandage of sorts and that makes it quite unique and helpful for your fish.

Stress Guard is absolutely incredible. I love Seachem products in general, so when I found out they had something that helped regenerate slime coats, I was ecstatic. I bought it for my betta fish to have on hand for emergencies and lo and behold, she got herself stuck in a decoration one day. I found her just in time, but she lost a few scales, tore her fins, and was extremely stressed and breathing heavily. I turned the heat up in her tank and added some Stress Guard and she was back to her old self after just a few days. I for sure thought she was a goner after that, but she's still swimming around with me today, happy as can be! Her fins are finally regrown now and she is feisty as can be. What's great about Stress Guard is that it doesn't have any aloe or similar oils in it. A lot of these "stress coat" type products have aloe in them and advertise it as good for bettas, but it is actually very bad for bettas specifically because it coats their labyrinth organ and can prevent them from breathing properly. Stress Guard, on the other hand, helps them regenerate their slime coat with ease and doesn't coat their labyrinth organ with any harmful oils.

Just look at the before and after. 100% recommend. His fins were breaking down and coloring was pale. While using just one Seachem StressGuard, his fins were growing out and so much blue and vibrant color came out. A true miracle worker. It 100% works. I recommend to everyone.

It was so good for my fish

Works great for stressed or injured fish This has helped my fish recover faster after moves and water changes. I noticed calmer behavior almost right away, and it also helps protect their slime coat during stressful times. A solid staple for any tank.

so far so good

I think this helps the fish skin a lot.

Works as designed

Per ora non a funzionato perche il mio pesce a sempre un po di buchi sulla coda però e molto utile

Buen producto para envíos de peces

Haben wir immer vorrätig und zusammen mit Paraguard das "Go to" wenn dich mal ein Medikament gebraucht wird. Besonders empfehlenswert da Garnelen-sicher!

Buena calidad

Good effective product. I always use while introducing a new fish or after water change.
