A must have
By DarlingsMom on Apr 7, 2021
This came highly recommended for conditioning my Bettas water. I used to use bottled, come to find out, that should also be treated. So I’ve switched to tap and use this stuff now. Darlings light got left on all night...super bad. And I used this so he wouldn’t be stressed out.

Dont get regular water conditioner
By fishnpups on Dec 21, 2020 top500Contributor
I uses to work at a 0et store and this is what we used. Get this over the water conditioner for the added soothing to the fish with aloe vera. Useful for water cinditioning, when you do water changes, new tank inhabitants, all of it! I used this when i had saltwater tanks and freshwater and its the best bang for your buck and very good at diing what it does.
