API Pond Care Stress Coat

Introduction

API Pond Care Stress Coat is a highly effective pond water conditioner designed to reduce stress in pond fish and promote healing. It is especially beneficial during water changes, handling, or when fish are exposed to stressful conditions such as high temperatures or water quality fluctuations. Stress Coat uses Aloe Vera to form a protective slime coat on your fish, which helps to protect their skin and gills from injury, disease, and infection. This powerful formula helps keep your pond fish safe and healthy, making it a vital addition to any pond care routine.

Features

• Reduces Fish Stress: Stress Coat significantly reduces stress in fish by helping to protect them from environmental stressors, such as poor water quality, handling, or water changes.
• Aloe Vera Formula: The formula contains Aloe Vera, which naturally promotes healing and acts as a skin protectant. Aloe Vera also helps to soothe fish, reducing the potential for injury or infection.
• Protective Slime Coat: Creates a protective slime coat over fish skin and gills, which shields them from toxins, cuts, abrasions, and potential diseases in the pond.
• Supports Healing: Ideal for helping to heal damaged fins, wounds, and scrapes, and can accelerate the recovery process in stressed fish.
• Safe for Fish and Plants: Stress Coat is safe for all pond fish, including koi, goldfish, and other aquatic life. It will not harm pond plants or aquatic invertebrates when used as directed.
• Effective During Water Changes: Perfect for use during water changes, new pond setup, or when introducing new fish to the pond to help ease the transition and minimize the stress caused by changes in the environment.

Usage

• Application Instructions: Add 1 capful (5 mL) of Stress Coat per 50 gallons (189 liters) of pond water.
• Frequency of Use: Apply Stress Coat during water changes, when adding new fish to the pond, or if fish show signs of stress. For ongoing care, it can be used on a regular basis as part of your routine pond maintenance.
• Healing Application: In cases of injury, scrapes, or wounds on fish, Stress Coat should be applied directly to the water, and it will help to protect and promote healing over time.
• Monitor Fish Behavior: After adding Stress Coat, monitor your fish for signs of improvement. The fish should become more active and visibly healthier as their stress levels reduce.

Available Sizes

• 473 mL (ideal for small to medium ponds)

Recommendations

• Use Regularly: Stress Coat is highly beneficial for the overall health of your pond fish, so regular use during water changes or stressful situations will help maintain the well-being of your fish.
• Post-Injury or Illness: If any of your pond fish are injured or recovering from an illness, Stress Coat will speed up the recovery process by providing a healing protective layer for the fish.
• When Adding New Fish: When introducing new fish to your pond, use Stress Coat to help them acclimate by reducing the stress of the new environment and ensuring they have proper protection against any potential injuries.
• Pair with Other API Pond Products: For the best results, pair Stress Coat with other API Pond Care products, such as API Pond Care Stress Zyme (for improving biological filtration) or API Pond Care Ammonia Lock (to control ammonia levels).
