Fritz A+ Aquarium Salt for Freshwater 1lb

Product details

Fritz A+ Aquarium Salt for Freshwater 1lb (81004) is an aquarium salt formulated for freshwater aquariums to help provide essential electrolytes that freshwater fish use through their gills for processes including oxygen uptake and the release of carbon dioxide and ammonia. In practical terms, it’s used to reduce stress during new aquarium setup and water changes, and it can be used to support fish recovery when addressing certain fish health issues. Follow the included dosing guidance based on your aquarium type and the goal of use.

Features:

• Helps supply essential electrolytes that support normal gill function in freshwater fish
• Commonly used to reduce stress during new aquarium setup and routine water changes
• Can be used for disease recovery situations when working through specific fish health issues (follow label directions)
• Provides guidance for both general water conditioning and a separate saline-bath approach for external parasites
• Dissolves for tank and accessory cleaning without needing soap or disinfectants
• Does not evaporate and is not filtered out, so it should be added with each water change rather than once-and-done
• Use caution with live plants, as some plants may be sensitive to aquarium salt
