first of all, I do not usually leave reviews.. but I just wanted to put this out here in case anyone else finds himself in a similar situation and aren’t sure what to do. I have very large South American cichlids in an outdoor pond and naturally sometimes they fight. Anytime I see anyone with any injuries I always dose the pond with this bc it’s safe for the other fish and the plants in there. It’s essentially harmless to use and can pretty much only help. I’ve used this probably dozen times for small injuries and never had any problems.This particular time was a true test of its efficacy. Two of my adult cichlids had the worst wounds I’ve seen in any of my tanks. A blood parrot was missing like a third of their jaw/face from locking jaws with someone and getting their face bitten, and a different fish had what looked like a stab mark (??) that was like almost a full inch long with some weird opaque white stuff coming out of it 😠These 2 fish don’t bother each other at all so it may have been a coincidence idk but it was such a nightmare and I did not think either of them would come back from their wounds. I considered euthanizing them, but honestly, I didn’t have any way to actually euthanize fish that size.. so I ordered a couple bottles of this overnight and prayed for the best. It says it’s safe to double the dose so I did and within three days, the fishes face grew back almost perfectly and the other fish with the stab wound already had a visible closed scar. I was so impressed (and thrilled!!) It says it has colloids that bind to exposed proteins in wounds, and after my personal experience and consulting some experts online, I truly believe this product does what it says, and is worth every penny.

When I’m using this product, it’s because I feel that my fish are stressed. This may be immediately after hey gravel, cleaning or rearranging the plants. I always make certain too. Include this to help my fish settle down and protect them from any stress induced maladies. SeaChem offers, outstanding products, high-quality that will suit any aquarium enthusiast. I am always confident that I am not going to cause any difficulties when I use their products properly.

This product is the same price for a bottle HALF the size in a pet store. Will always order through here. It works great at keeping your fish nice and calm during water changes! Arrived quickly!

Seachem is the best, I’ve never used a product of theirs that doesn’t work. The best ones to have: Seachem Prime, Seachem Stability, & this Stressguard. It really does seem to make fish happier & less stressed. Seachem’s medications are good too if you ever need them (hopefully not). Seachem Paraguard saved my fish from ich.

So just to clear things up for anyone who is unsure. Paraguard & stress guard can be used together. I recently got back into discus and in knowing how sensitive they can be I wasn't sure what to use during quarantine. I watched a couple of videos & did some reading & reviews on line & the paraguard was highly recommended. There wasn't anyone using it with stress guard but I figured I'd give it a try. So here is how I used it. I ordered the first 7 discus & I didn't do as much research on the seller as I should have (I won't mention sellers name but just believe cheaper is NOT the way to go) anyway when I got them they were skinny, doing a whole lot of rubbing and 2 had ich. That being said I turned the heat up to 92°(this high for fish who can handle high temp only) & treated with both stress guard & paraguard for 2 weeks (put temp slowly back down to 84° when done).All fish survived & are doing great. Now as for the second batch of 9 discus . They came in healthy (more reputable seller) so I did just 3 days of both. Now if you are doing a 2 week quarantine like you should if you see any trouble you can restart both until you see they are doing better (2 weeks if sick is best). Make sure you remove carbon from filter when using paraguard. If your using stress guard alone for injury you do not need to remove carbon. I hope this helps . I highly recommend both products

I have a 55 gallon with some questionable stocking.... see, about 7ish years ago, my mother bought me a mysterious fish that I would later identify as a tiger loach. I freaking love the dude. I really need 5 more of them so he can live out the rest of his days with his own kind and be happy, but I have never seen another of his specific kind (Syncrossus Helodes) ... Because of this, he's kind of a cranky guy (I don't blame him, i know it's my fault, I'm a monster, but dammit I've been trying to find him buddies ever since I was finally able to identify what kind of loach he is, which took me YEARS, so cut me some slack por favor) ANYWAYS sometimes when he's feeling particularly jerky he'll hunt my guppies... not relentlessly or anything (they're not living in fear), just a chomp on the tail to those who dare swim too close to his cavern (he does it to my giant 9ish year old pleco as well, to no effect, but i also catch those 2 sleeping together with the loach layed out all awkwardly on his side on top of the pleco...). This results in the *occasional* chunk of guppy tail fin missing... this stuff helps the healing process so much. I'll see improvement same day and new growth the next day. When I dose my tanks with this, the guppies will rush over to the bluish cloud, shimmying directly through it. If they could, I'm sure they would cheer. They love how it makes their slime coat extra slimey and coating (I assume, based on my interpretation of the sign language we've developed together over time)
