Cheap insurance to have beautiful and healthy fish!
I use this in my small pond and my aquariums.Whenever I add new fish I use API Stress Coat.I get a lot of my pond and aquarium fish shipped to me.Sometimes fish can get injured from the packing and shipping process. Plus it does stress them out a lot.I use API Stress Coat every time I add fish to my pond or aquariums, and as of now I have a 100% success rate. The fish just thrive.I use it as directed and I have peace of mind.In addition, buying pond and aquarium fish, especially on-line can be expensive. Especially when shipping costs are added.Using API Stress Coat is cheap insurance.I would rather use API Stress Coat and be proactive rather than having to cure an injured and / or sick fish.IMHO, it’s worth it.(Oh yeah. I thought I’d point out that the Sarasa Goldfish and Shubunkin Goldfish you see in the pictures were purchased here on Amazon. We bought them from Toledo Goldfish right here. Beautiful and healthy fish. This is not a plug for Toledo Goldfish. Just an FYI if you are looking for beautiful and healthy goldfish.)

Works Wonders for My Fish
I’ve been using API Stress Coat for a few months now, and Iâm really pleased with how itâs helped my aquarium. This product is fantastic for reducing fish stress, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy tank. I started using it when I noticed some of my fish seemed a bit skittish and were showing signs of minor injuries.API Stress Coat works by creating a protective slime coat on the fish, which helps them heal more quickly and adapt better to changes in their environment. It also detoxifies chlorine and chloramine in tap water, which is a huge bonus. The liquid is easy to dose and mixes well into the water without any fuss.Iâve seen noticeable improvements in my fishâs behavior and overall health since I started using it. They seem more active and less stressed, and any minor injuries they had healed up faster than I expected. Itâs now a regular part of my water change routine and has made a big difference in the well-being of my aquatic pets. If youâre looking for a reliable product to reduce stress and promote healing, API Stress Coat is definitely worth considering.

Magic in a Bottle for Your Aquarium!
Having a home aquarium can be a tricky endeavor, especially when it comes to maintaining a healthy environment for your fish. This product has been a game changer for me.Firstly, the 16-ounce size is very economical. It lasts quite a while even with regular use, which is great for someone who doesnât want to constantly repurchase supplies. The application process is straightforward and easy â just follow the instructions on the bottle.The most impressive part is its effectiveness. Since using this conditioner, Iâve noticed that my fish are visibly healthier and more active. Their colors are more vibrant, and they seem less stressed, especially after water changes or when introducing new fish to the tank. The product claims to reduce fish stress by 40% and it really seems to live up to that promise.Another major benefit is how it treats tap water. The conditioner neutralizes chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals present in tap water, making it safer for the aquarium. This is crucial for the wellbeing of the fish and helps maintain a balanced ecosystem in the tank.Overall, I highly recommend the API STRESS COAT Aquarium Water Conditioner to any aquarium enthusiast. Whether youâre a beginner or an experienced fishkeeper, this product is a must-have in your aquarium care toolkit. Itâs a small investment for the huge benefit it brings to the health and happiness of your aquatic pets.

Works fast and great price…
I used this to set up my 55-gallon aquarium. Tested great and was able to introduce fish the next day. Probably could have put them in earlier but waited to make sure the tested levels were stable.

Great Product – but
I’ve used API Stress Coat for years. It is the best product on the market for treating the water before adding new water to the aquarium or while transferring fish. I subtracted one star from this particular order because the packager failed to make sure the lid was on tight and some of the product leaked out (see photo).

Some of my plants had brown tips. Told that they had chlorin poison. Since using this product all my plants are now beautiful w/no more brown tips on new leaves. I use10 litres of water with 2 tblspns of this product. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

This product is a staple in any aquarium owner, and likely needs no explanation. However, most probably just use it as water preparation before a water change. However, when fish are showing signs of stress, this can be a miracle worker when paired with other anti-stress mechanisms.The price value is great too. I’ve seen smaller bottles cost more than this bottle. The size is also not too big that it becomes inconvenient to store or use.The cap has a built in measuring mechanism, with marks for 1ml, 5ml, and 10ml.

Great product always use this in my tanks, donât think the biggest size of this jug is worth the amount of money at all as you can get the stress zyme largest jug for a bit cheaper. All in all itâs a great product and does what it should and my fish as thriving.
