Seachem StressGuard – Premium Slime Coat & Antiseptic Protection

Seachem StressGuard is the premium choice for protecting and restoring the natural slime coat of both freshwater and marine fish. Unlike competing "stress coat" products that utilize aloe vera or oils which can clog filters and alter water chemistry, StressGuard contains protein-active colloids. These unique compounds act as a "liquid bandage," actively seeking out damaged tissue and binding to it to provide a protective barrier against pathogens.

Advanced Healing & Stress Reduction

StressGuard is specifically engineered to support the recovery of fish during handling, shipping, or disease treatment.

Protein-Active Colloids: These specialized molecules identify and bond to exposed proteins on wounded or irritated tissue, effectively sealing the area from infection.
Antiseptic Properties: Contains a therapeutic, non-toxic antiseptic that helps prevent secondary bacterial and fungal infections in open wounds.
Safe for All Filtration: Because it is not oil-based, StressGuard will not foul your protein skimmer or clog the fine pores of your biological media.
Reduces Ammonia Toxicity: Aids in the neutralization of toxic ammonia during times of stress, such as when introducing new fish or during transportation.
Ideal for Acclimation: Significantly reduces the stress levels of fish during the transition to a new environment, increasing survival rates for sensitive species.
