Seachem Stress Guard

Seachem StressGuard is a well-known product in the aquarium world, primarily designed to reduce stress in fish and protect their skin. Here are the essential points to know:

• Main function: It is a conditioner that aids in the healing of minor wounds, scrapes, and skin lesions in fish. It is often used after transport, when introducing fish to a new aquarium, or after conflicts between fish.

• Protective action: The product contains active protein colloids that bind to damaged areas of the fish's skin, forming a temporary barrier against bacterial and fungal infections.

• Compatibility: StressGuard is safe for fish, corals, and plants. It is compatible with most medicinal treatments, except those based on permanganate or unchelated copper (check Seachem recommendations).

• Usage: The standard dose is 5 mL per 40 liters of water (1 capful per 200 liters), typically used daily as needed until improvement.

• Special feature: Unlike some anti-stress products containing aloe vera (which can clog filters long-term), StressGuard does not have these side effects.
