Does the job

2 months ago
I used the stress coat when doing his water change. Axolotls definitely get stressed when you are pouring water. It makes his water safe for him and calms him. It also makes sure his slime coat stays moist. I will definitely keep using it.

Works

I’m not able to confirm that it’s related, but 1 of my fish died after trying this product so I’m not sure that I would want to recommend it again. Overall, the product seems to work as designed..

Destress

Our tank has an issue with algae due to not having snails or algae eaters. This has definitely helped alleviate that and I feel that using this product helps when introducing new fish.
