StressCoat

[Whizkid]

Thank you for the StressCoat info. My next questions are simple ones (I hope).

#1: Does StressCoat work the moment it touches the water, or does it gradually work?

#2: When should I add it? After a 20% per week water change??? Through-out the day/week? I don't want my fish to OD on it.


Last night two mollies had babies. The black balloon: so I have 8 totally black babies...and the white/silver balloon mollie...so I have (? #) of little white babies.

I use stress coat everytime I do a water change and when I add new fish. I think it works immediately

Stress coat works immediately, although you might want to mix it in real good. I add the stress coat first and then put the water in. That generally takes care of mixing it up. Also, you can't really OD on stress coat. It's not that kind of chemical. Along with removing chlorine from the water, it encourages the growth of the fish's slime coat, which protects it from harsh elements in its environment. I don't even measure my stress coat anymore. I just squirt some in and go from there. Also, if your fish seem to be stressed or feeling down, a squirt of stress coat in their tank can really improve their condition. It's really very useful.
