any difference between pond / aquarium ?
- Thank you for your question. PondCare Pond Stress Coat Plus is more concentrated and formulated for use with large amounts of water. It is not recommended to use it in the home aquarium as the high level of concentration may cause a bacteria bloom in the aquarium. njc

My cat likes to drink the fish water with Stress Coat. Is that going to hurt her?
- Probably isn't good for her. I'd get a hood on your aquarium like you're supposed to.

- I used this product for my betta fish and he has been doing perfectly fine. I have been using it for around a month and a half.
Helpful?
Can you use stress coat and stress zyme together in a 20 gallon tank? Or will it do more damage than good?
I am thinking on buying a gallon of Stress coat ,what is the shelf life?
- Not sure of the shelf life, but I buy the gallon size also and it still appears to be the same as when I purchased it about 2 years later.
