Questions
Why are we touching this stuff? If it can kill the fish, it can harm us as well. Other Ingredients: 95.50% PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT HAZARDS TO HUMANS and DOMESTIC ANIMALS Caution: Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin.
Hi I cannot see the gallons this product treats in the picture. I have a 300 gallon pond.What is the ratio? One of the goldfish has black spots supposedly due to the ammonia in the pond.
- The stress coat will not fix the ammonia problem in your pond. I also have a three gallon pond. You will need to perform a particial water change (using the stress coat, follow the instructions on the directions). You will also need an water testing kit, so you can monitor the ammonia levels. You may need to do this several times over a period of time to get the water to a safe level. If the ammonia levels have been high, it could have stressed the fish, it might have a parasitic disease (you will need to look up details on that separtely).

How much do I put in my 10 gallon tank. Is there any thing i need to know when first use it in my 10 gallon.
- We would recommend to use the aquarium version of this product. The Pond Stress Coat is very concentrated, please double check which one you have. For a 10 gallon, you would use 2.5mls for the Pond Stress Coat

How much of both Pond Prime 2L & Stress Coat gal size do I use for a 3,000gal Goldfish pond & a 30,000gal heavily planted Koi Pond!??? I'm trying to
- Thank you for your inquiry. On the Stress Coat you will need to use 1/2 cup for each 480 US gallons. For the Pond Prime use 1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) for each 600 - 700 gallons for removing chlorine or chloramine. To detoxify high concentrations of ammonia or nitrite, use 1/4 to 1/2 cup for each 600 gallons.

Trying to treat betta for Popeye otherwise healthy happy and active. Moved from five to three gallon filtered heated tanks. Feed freeze dried blood worms, daphnia and bug bites by fluval. Also am changing some if not all water every few days. Treated with kanaplex several doses no real improvement. Switzed to metroplex in water treatment as I don't know how food treatment works or how to dose started four doses two days apart and there is some improvement to the eyes. Med is miconidazole.
How to do clean water which fill in aquarium if doesn't have water conditioner?
Is there a thing such as adding too much water conditioner? I use reptisafe for my African dwarf frog.
Is hydrogen peroxide safe to use on aquarium fish
I accidentally bought ich x for saltwater. I’m wondering if I can use it in my freshwater tank?
When I change the water in my fish tank, after I add the appropriate amount of conditioner, a white fuzz seems to appear on all the objects in my tank, aside from the fish. I’ve had the tank for over a year now and it happens on all the water changes. My fish seem to be unaffected (I have 4). What could potentially be happening?
I have a betta fish that hangs out in the bottom. I noticed he has fin rot. I cleaned his 5-gallon tank 100%. I put in water conditioning that puts on a slime coat for the fish and aquarium salt. He still isn't getting better and looks a little worse. What should I do?
I have a pond in with my water dragon with a activated carbon filter. Is it safe for him to drink? I also used a water conditioner from petco. He is very lethargic and not eating.
Are these steps good for this fish's wound and finrot? Part of the fish fin fell off but it is okay now. We're planning to quarantine him and use aquarium salt. Is there any last minutes subs for the salt? Tomorrow is Christmas so the stores will be closed, and we need to help him asap. so.. Are these steps good and are there any last minute subs?
Fish has white fluffy stuff on gills and eyes as well as what looks like fin rot. We’ve lost almost all the fish in our aquarium… we thought ick initially and have dosed Melafix but it doesn’t seem to be working. They won’t eat, they’re either laying on the ground or floating at the top of the tank gasping ): we have a large tank with several peaceful species and now we’re down to just a handful of fish left. We are devastated.
Hello, I have a betta and I'm sure he has moderate fin rot. Thing is I have him in a 1.1 bowl because I broke my bigger 2.5 gal tank. Ive been doing water changes and recently bought aquarium salt, bettafix, and Tail and Body Cure from API but I'm not sure how to use it in such a small tank w/o a heater... I know its such a bad environment but its not for long. I just need my betta to last a weak till I get a decent tank. Could you please give me a suggestion. I greatly appreciate your time.
So since the last time I asked he started to show signs of fin rot and this morning I saw one thin white filament attached to his left fin. Doesn't appear to be attached to his body anywhere else but his one fin. He is in a 1 gal tank and I put a fungal treatment in his bowl. Was this the right way to go or should I simply keep with salt and pristine water
