My fish have been much more active since I started using this conditioner. The water turns clear quickly and my goldfish seem less stressed after being moved to the pond.
Sophie Pullman –
I used it when adding new fish to my pond. The chlorine was gone within minutes and the fish didn’t show signs of distress. Aloe vera helps with the protective layer too.
