Saved my Betta!
My betta had a severe tear in their tail fin and this product healed it completely within about two weeks of use following the directions and doing water changes more often as in one every two to three days. The key detail here is regular water changes during this time! A fish with an injury needs clean water with stressguard, stressguard alone will not heal the fish. This is because it acts more like a bandage, when we have a bandage on we have to keep the wound clean and it is the same here. Dirty water with bacteria or fungus may lead to infections which will slow down healing since the fish will be more focused on fighting an infection instead of healing that torn fin, that is why pristine water is the other side of the coin. I recommend this product, it does not negatively impact fish, crustaceans, plants, the filtration, or the established nitrifying bacteria in the tank. To my knowledge this is the only product of its kind, API has a stress coat but it is really just aloe vera which promotes healing but does not protect the wound. This actually acts as a protein bandage of sorts and that makes it quite unique and helpful for your fish.

Great for fish in cycle
I love that this is safe for betta, unlike most other slime coat products. I've been doing a fish in cycle and slowly adding more fish, so the fact that this provides extra protection and antiseptic properties without crashing the new cycle is reassuring. I actually started using it at first because my first betta injured his tail a bit, but it healed up within a few days of starting this alongside water changes

Lifesaver
Stress Guard is absolutely incredible. I love Seachem products in general, so when I found out they had something that helped regenerate slime coats, I was ecstatic. I bought it for my betta fish to have on hand for emergencies and lo and behold, she got herself stuck in a decoration one day. I found her just in time, but she lost a few scales, tore her fins, and was extremely stressed and breathing heavily. I turned the heat up in her tank and added some Stress Guard and she was back to her old self after just a few days. I for sure thought she was a goner after that, but she's still swimming around with me today, happy as can be! Her fins are finally regrown now and she is feisty as can be. What's great about Stress Guard is that it doesn't have any aloe or similar oils in it. A lot of these "stress coat" type products have aloe in them and advertise it as good for bettas, but it is actually very bad for bettas specifically because it coats their labyrinth organ and can prevent them from breathing properly. Stress Guard, on the other hand, helps them regenerate their slime coat with ease and doesn't coat their labyrinth organ with any harmful oils.

Literally a life saver. Miracle worker.
Just look at the before and after. 100% recommend. His fins were breaking down and coloring was pale. While using just one Seachem StressGuard, his fins were growing out and so much blue and vibrant color came out. A true miracle worker. It 100% works. I recommend to everyone.

Super happy with this product
I rescued a betta from Petco with fin rot. he has a rough month but he is now doing great! he recently moved into his new filtered 5 gallon...and shed his slime coat within the first 72 hours. it freaked me out! i don't exactly know what happened....but this stuff fixed him right up. in the process he also developed a very weird, almost zit/pimple type thing on his pelvic fin. really weird! i flipped out! at first i was thinking parasite...fungus....i dosed this immediately, as it was the only med i had on hand...this isn't actually a med...but my god this stuff works miraculously fast. some people in the fish forums i frequent told me it didn't look like a parasite or disease and that he would be fine. so i held off on ordering a specific medication....maybe about 6 hours later i went to check on him and it had improved so much. it actually looks like it burst. this morning more improvement so i went ahead and gave him another dose to treat for an additional 24 hours. that was about 7 hours ago. it has completely disappeared. i'm really glad i bought this. i got it for this exact reason. to just have on hand. i will also be dosing anytime i see signs of stress...or when i add new fish to my additional tanks. thanks so much Seachem! they have amazing support. just head on over to their website. you can contact them directly....Monday-Friday you'll get a response pretty fast. they really are super helpful. like they want to help....they want to educate their customers. they also have a support forum. i will not be using any other product for my fish besides Seachem brand.

Works
Works great for stressed or injured fish This has helped my fish recover faster after moves and water changes. I noticed calmer behavior almost right away, and it also helps protect their slime coat during stressful times. A solid staple for any tank.

効果は抜群!
おびえてあまり水槽前面に出てこないワイルドコリドラスが出てくるようになりました!他の魚も粘膜しっかりしてる感じがあります。効果は間違いないです。 ただなにぶん高すぎる…せめて250ml、できれば500mlでこの値段なら助かるのですが、100mlしか入っていないため、60cm水槽1本でも毎日添加したとすると2週間もたず、うちは水槽そこそこあるため最初全部の水槽に添加した後は60にしか入れてませんが、5日で空になりました。。絶大な効果から多分リピートしますが、とにかく高い…。
