Size: 8.5 oz
Features: This protein-active colloid agent goes out to find itself any wounds, scrapes or
places where proteins have been exposed and adds to this area to directly help as a
disinfectant and initiates the healing process. This active colloid protein, because it
binds exposed proteins, also acts as a liquid wound dressing. Some products are
marketed to be injected into the transport bag when acquiring a fish. These products are
generally acidic, this being a very strong acid in the case of some commercial brands.
Introducing such a product in a small, closed fish transport container often does more
harm than the intended benefit. StressGuard™ has a pH of 7.0. It will not affect the pH
of an aquarium, even in large doses. There are no other products on the market that
can compare to the effectiveness of StressGuard™
