I used API® Stress Coat when transferring my betta to a new tank. The fish seemed calmer and showed no signs of stress after the move. It worked well during the water change process and the fish recovered quickly.

Great product for new aquarium setups. I used it when adding my first guppies and noticed less aggression and better coloration after a few days. The aloe vera component seems to help with healing minor injuries.

I’ve used it during water changes and when introducing new fish. The fish appear more active and less anxious. It’s a simple addition that makes a noticeable difference.
