We have had Violet, our Beta fish, for about one year now and she’s been very healthy because I always make sure to use Tetra AquaSafe when changing her water. Violet doesn’t live in a very big aquarium, for her a small bowl is suffice and she is extremely happy where she is. One thing I pay close attention to is the amount of AquaSafe I add to her bowl. Tetra directs users to add one teaspoon to every 10 gallons of water. Well Violet’s bowl is not even 1 gallon, so I only add a drop or two. I can immediately see the conditioner working. When you drop it in, you can see a sort of oily swirling action. I usually stir it up a bit and I’m done!
To keep your fish healthy, there are a few things you need to do for it. One of the most important things to do when changing the water is to make sure that you neutralize chlorine and all heavy metals present in your tap water. Trust me, your fish will thank you!! Chlorine is highly toxic to fish and kill them in a matter of days. Chlorine affects the gills of the fish and also kills important bacteria in filters and in the tank that your fish need. With the ammonia and nitrate together in the water, along with the damage already done to the fish by the chlorine, the fish will usually die within a week. The BEST thing, if you do ANYTHING, is to make sure you use Aquasafe.
Tetra Aquasafe not only neutralizes chlorine, but it does many other helpful things to the water to ensure your fish stays healthy. “Aquasafe will neutralize chloramine by breaking down the bond between chlorine and ammonia while reducing both the fish-toxic chlorine and ammonia components.” Very important like I mentioned above! An important note on the back of this bottle...”*AquaSafe will not remove ammonia from an uncycled, overstocked, or under-filtered aquarium.” So please, be careful how you use this product and make sure your fish is being taken care of even without this product.
Another great feature this product has, that I am extremely grateful for, is the fact that this conditioner provides a slime coating that helps heal wounds and protects your fish from any further damage. As many of you know, Beta's fins are incredibly paper-thin and can be ripped easily. Although I’ve never had this happen to my Beta, I must still be exceptionally careful with Violet when changing her water as to not hurt her. It makes me happy to know that she is somewhat protected with Tetra Aquasafe. Although this product is NOT a medicine and should never be used as such, it can help with a minor scratch. Always be sure to contact a vet in case of an emergency.
The primary (principal) ingredients in this product are these...
Sodium hydroxymethane, sulfinate, polyvinvy. proxllidones, organic hydrocolloids, and organic chelating compounds.
AquaSafe should be used WHENEVER you add, or change your fishs’ water, partial or full. It’s a significant part of caring for you fish.
