Seachem StressGuard 250 mL
Seachem StressGuard 250 mL is an advanced stress-reducing water conditioner designed to protect fish during handling, transport, acclimation, and recovery from injury or disease. It works by forming a protective slime coat barrier that helps reduce stress and promotes faster healing of damaged skin, fins, and scales.
Unlike aloe-based products, StressGuard uses a protein-active colloid that binds to exposed wounds, helping prevent infection while remaining gentle and non-toxic. It is safe for use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums, including reef systems.
StressGuard is ideal for new fish introductions, netting or moving fish, after shipping, during quarantine, or following aggressive tank interactions, making it a must-have for routine aquarium care.
