StressGuard™ will reduce stress and ammonia toxicity whenever handling or transporting fish. StressGuard™ binds to exposed protein in wounds to promote healing of injured fish and to reduce the likelihood of primary and secondary infections. StressGuard™ is compatible with all medications except those that are copper based. StressGuard™ is not amine based and will not interfere with Purigen® or HyperSorb™ regeneration. StressGuard™ does not coat resins or clog filtration like competing “slime coat” type products can. What makes StressGuard™ very successful at healing is the fact that it contains protein active colloids. This protein active colloidal agent actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or places where exposed proteins are and attaches to this area to help directly deliver the disinfectant in the product and start the healing process. This protein active colloid, because it binds to the exposed proteins, also acts like a liquid bandage to the abrasion. Some products are marketed to be squirted in the bag when a fish is purchased. Those products are generally acidic, with some brands being a very strong acid. Putting such a product in a small, enclosed container with a fish often does more harm than any intended good. StressGuard™ has a pH of 7.0. It will not affect the pH of an aquarium, even at large doses. There are no other products on the market that can compare to the effectiveness of StressGuard™. | | | Features: | |

I trust SeachemAug 10, 2011
By Shelly
"food/cooking enthusiast"
I have tried many different "stress" products for transporting fish and introducing new fish to an aquarium. This product is by far the best and does exactly what it says it will.
I use it every time I bring in new fish, move a fish or have an injured fish. It is safe for scaleless fish and Bettas.
It works wonders on injuries and has, so far, headed off having to turn to major antibiotics for wounds. One of my angels just got a nasty fin rip which looked like it might be headed for fin rot. I removed her to a hospital tank and treated with Stressguard while I waited for an order of antibiotics to arrive. By the time the drugs got here, the fin was healing beautifully with absolutely no signs of infection.
I have tried Melafix and Pimafix and found these products seemed to stress the fish far more than help them. Stressguard produces nearly instant soothing for my fish.
The Seachem line was recommended to me by numerous aquarists with more experience than I. New tanks cycle much faster with Seachem's Prime, water changes are much easier on my finned friends with Stressguard and I have a wonderfully functioning bio system using Seachem's Stability.
I use the Seachem line exclusively for the care of my planted tanks and have had great results. I am new to live planted aquariums and I credit Seachem's products with keeping my plants healthy, lush and growing beautifully.
The Seachem products are far better than most of the aquarium products offered in most pet stores and are well worth the money. You use less and get far better results. My fish are happy and that makes me happy!
I have gotten rid of numerous other products and cut down on the number of products needed by switching to the Seachem line. I make sure I am stocked ahead with Prime, Stressguard, Stability and their fertilizers. In addition to the fact their products actually work, they have wonderful customer service and promptly answer questions. All in all, I trust Seachem above other brands to keep my fish healthy and happy and my planted aquariums beautiful. Great products - must haves.
