Stressguardtm Will Reduce Stress And Ammonia Toxicity Whenever Handling Or Transporting Stressguardtm Binds To Exposed Protein In Wounds To Promote Healing Of Injured And To Reduce The Likelihood Of Primary And Secondary Infections. Stressguardtm Is Compatible With All Medications Except Those That Are Copper Based. Stressguardtm Is Not Amine Based And Will Not Interfere With Purigen; Or Hypersorbtm Regeneration. Stressguardtm Does Not Coat Resins Or Clog;Ltration Like Competing "Slime Coat" Type Products Can. What Makes Stressguardtm 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. Stressguardtm 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 Stressguardtm. Directions Use 1/2-1 Capful (2.5-5 Ml) To Every 40 L (10 Us Gallons) Daily Until Signs Of Stress Have Abated Or Healing Is Complete. Dose May Be Safely Doubled. Sizes 50 Ml, 100 Ml, 250 Ml, 500 Ml, 4 L ## Features - Stressguardtm Is The Premium Slime Coat Protection Product - Stressguardtm Will Reduce Stress And Ammonia Toxicity Whenever Handling Or Transporting Fish - Stressguardtm Binds To Exposed Protein In Wounds To Promote Healing Of Injured Fish And To Reduce The Likelihood Of Primary And Secondary Infections. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001F0KX06 | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,403 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #502 in Water Treatments | | Brand Name | Seachem | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (3,805) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000116052306 | | Included Components | 1 piece Seachem Laboratories Stress Guard 500Ml | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Seachem Laboratories Stress Guard | | Item Weight | 1.15 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 500 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | SEACHEM LABORATORIES, SEACHEM LABORATORIES | | Manufacturer Contact Information | SEACHEM LABORATORIES | | Manufacturer Part Number | 523 | | Model Number | 523 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Packer Contact Information | SEACHEM LABORATORIES | | Pet Type | Fish | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 000116052306 | | Unit Count | 500.0 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seachem - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Item Weight:** 1.15 Pounds - **Liquid Volume:** 500 Millilitres - **Number of Packs:** 1 ## Images ![Laboratories Stress Guard 500Ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41-kmEr-I-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: When adding new fish or changing water do I have to use the entire 5ml/10gallon rule ?** A: I would do it if it were me. Most fish come from pet stores that are severly overstocked and under maintained so they are already stressed when you bring them home. Add to that the fact that they are being moved for the umpteeth time and they can use all the help they can get. I will say that I do use half doses when I move my fish from one tank to another only because they tanks are well maintained and the water parameters are pretty much the same so the fish are less stressed. Other people may have different opinions but this is my process and it works for me. I have four tanks. I have a 125, 90, 55 and a 40. I have been in the hobby for over 15 years. I also keep two aquatic turtles as well. Hope this helps. **Q: any views on this product versus API's stresscoat?** A: Different products, API is a water conditioner, stressguard is an antiseptic for open wounds, cuts. I used StressGuard occasionally and API on water changes. **Q: Does purigen have to be removed from filter?** A: No you can add whenever etc. **Q: Do you have to remove purigen from your filter** A: No. Generally Seachem products are safe to use with other Seachem products. Normal filters, nor purigen filters have to be removed when using Stress Guard. It's perfectly safe. ## Frequently Bought Together - Seachem StressGuard Slime Coat Protection - Stress and Toxic Ammonia Reducer 500 ml - Seachem Stability Fish Tank Stabilizer - For Freshwater and Marine Aquariums, 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - Seachem Prime Fresh and Saltwater Conditioner - Chemical Remover and Detoxifier 500 ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/64783399-laboratories-stress-guard-500ml](https://www.desertcart.at/products/64783399-laboratories-stress-guard-500ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
