Featuring protein active colloids, it promotes rapid wound healing by binding to exposed proteins, acting as a liquid bandage to prevent infections. Its pH-neutral formula is safe for both marine and freshwater tanks and compatible with most medications, making it the go-to slime coat protector for professional aquarists. ## Description StressGuard™ is the premium slime coat protection product. StressGuard™ will reduce stress and ammonia toxicity whenever handling or transporting fish. StressGuard™ binds to exposed protein in wounds to promote healing of injured fish and to reduce the likelihood of primary and secondary infections. StressGuard™ is compatible with all medications except those that are copper based. StressGuard™ is not amine based and will not interfere with Purigen®; or HyperSorb™ regeneration. StressGuard™ does not coat resins or clog filtration like competing “slime coat” type products can. What makes StressGuard™ very successful at healing is the fact that it contains protein active colloids. This protein active colloidal agent actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or places where exposed proteins are and attaches to this area to help directly deliver the This protein active colloid, because it binds to the exposed proteins, also acts like a liquid bandage to the abrasion. Some products are marketed to be squirted in the bag when a fish is purchased. Those products are generally acidic, with some brands being a very strong acid. Putting such a product in a small, enclosed container with a fish often does more harm than any intended good. StressGuard™ has a pH of 7.0. It will not affect the pH of an aquarium, even at large doses. There are no other products on the market that can compare to the effectiveness of StressGuard™ ## Features - Reduces stress when handling or transporting fish - Antiseptic for fish - Promotes healing - Marine and freshwater ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002A5X4G | | ASIN | B0002A5X4G | | Allergen Information | Yam Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,130 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #291 in Aquarium Water Treatments | | Brand Name | Seachem | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (650) | | Date First Available | October 2, 2001 | | Department | All Ages, Unisex | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000116052504 | | Item Form | Stick | | Item Type Name | Aquarium Conditioner | | Item Weight | 0.08 kg | | Item model number | 525 | | Liquid Volume | 100 ml | | Manufacturer | Seachem Laboratories, Inc. | | Manufacturer | Seachem Laboratories, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 525 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 1 month and up | | Model Number | 525 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Dimensions | 1.62 x 1.62 x 4.88 inches; 2.89 ounces | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 000116052504 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seachem - **Item Form:** Stick - **Item Weight:** 0.08 kg - **Liquid Volume:** 100 ml - **Number of Packs:** 1 ## Images ![Seachem StressGuard 100 mL / 3.4 fl. oz. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612cZik7TtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this product have an expiration date?
