I was starting a new tank, followed all the rules, but when I put my fish in they just weren't right. After my first water change they were a mess! One of them even started shaking, but all my water parameters were fine and consistent. I added this to the tank, just the standard dose, and within an hour they had all calmed down. After a day they were starting to swim around, and three days later they're happy, playing, and eating normally. I absolutely attribute it to this stuff. I also had to quarantine a fish that just wasn't right from day one. I added this to his tank as well and I think it helped him survive. I now have this on auto delivery so I can't run out. I'm a believer!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Can I use this in addition to the beta water conditioner when I do a water change or would it be too much to use the tress coat additive on top of the beta water conditioner? Should it be one or the other or can I use both?

3 years ago
I actually use both. We have softened water here and I don't want it to effect fish. I also want to calm my fish with the stress coat. Not sure if it's the correct thing to do or not. I just go with my gut.

During a water change, should I calculate the Stress Coat dosage based on new water added, or based on the entire tank volume? Thanks, Charlotte

4 years ago
I calculate the dosage based on my total tank volume. You can't really overdo it, and it calms the fish after a water change.

Would this be ok to use in a community tank with shrimps in it? Thanks!

4 years ago
Yes, it should be. All it does is reinforce the natural outer layer of protective mucous that fish and other marine life have on them to repel parasites. I don't think it will harm the shrimp. I have three blue Nerite snails in my tank and they've been there for years, dutifully cleaning the tank, and have never been bothered by it.

You don't need to use quick start when you use stress coat. The measurement is on the bottle.

I have a 5 gallon tank with one betta fish. We use well water, so how much stress coat would I use to condition the water? Would I use 1 teaspoon in total to condition and remove stress from my fish?
