Fritz A+ Aquarium Salt for Freshwater 2lb

Product details

Fritz A+ Aquarium Salt for Freshwater 2lb (81005) is an aquarium salt formulated to supply electrolytes for freshwater fish. In practical terms, it’s used to support normal gill function and help fish manage gas exchange (oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide/ammonia release) during aquarium events like new tank setup, water changes, or while addressing certain fish health situations. This product is also used for cleaning aquarium surfaces and accessories using a salt solution, and it can be used as part of a saline bath approach in a quarantine setting for specific external parasite situations (follow the included directions for each use case).

Features:

• Designed to provide electrolytes for freshwater fish to support oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide/ammonia release through the gills
• Commonly used to reduce stress during new aquarium setup and water changes
• May be used to support disease recovery when solving specific fish health issues
• Includes guidance for preparing a saline bath in a quarantine tank for external parasite treatment
• Can be used to make a salt-water cleaning solution for aquarium sides and accessory soaking
• Does not evaporate and is not filtered out, so it should be added with each water change when used
