| Stress reducers Does any one have any recomendations of chemical stress reducers for fish during transport? Aside from dark bags, don't shake them like the little girl in Finding Nemo, etc., some additatives advertise stress reduction (Stress Coat, aloe vera stuff, etc.). Does anyone know if these actually work? When doing a major cleaning for my discus, i typically remove them into a large bucket (with airaetor) and add a bit of stress coat. I guess it works, they have not died yet anyhow.
From what i have seen so far online, most of the products for freshwater can also be used for saltwater provided the don't have any medications in them. But on a more specific, chemical level, what are the chemicals and/or nutrients proven or suspected to reduce fish stress durring transport. Note that i am not necessarlly asking about reducing stress in the aquarium, proper water conditions are number one there. |
