KORDON #31456 Fish Protector for Aquarium, 16-Ounce

I like this stuff a lot. I’m new to the hobby and spend a lot of time in fish forums. This product was talked about a lot. And I knew I wanted to pick some up for water changes and/or stressful moments. I use all seachem products. But their stress product is more like a medication. It has a disinfectant in it. I was wanting something to chill the fish out and have healing properties. A slime coat product. This product fits that bill. So yes I am going to be adding it to every water change or new addition....basically once a week.At the time, my fish I had somehow...well say he bumped his head, ramming it into the gravel trying to get snail food. This healed it right up. And he noticeably calms down. He really does seem very peaceful after I add this. And it’s not temporary. His whole demeanor has changed.I like that this ia slime coat focused. I like the extra vitamins. I feel like a better fish parent because of this product.If ever a time comes that I need to medicate this product will be an obvious additions. It absorbs medications and sticks it on the fish. It’s just a great product.It’s a little odd that’s kordon isn’t as popular as it used to be. I’m glad I found this and was able to buy it.

I use this product bi weekly in all my aquariums. I have noticed a extreme color pop in all my fish and overall just more healthy. So Glad I started using this. I use it bi weekly at half dose because of my plants. Just personal preference.

My 6 year-old goldfish will bump the top lid and likes to splash out water to get our attention but looked like it bumped too hard. We thought it would go away so waited a few days and it got worse (1st pic). The redness started in one area and spread to other scales so we were really concerned. I’ve used this Fish Protector before with success so tried again by mixing in as directed and within 2 days it’s almost gone (2nd pic). This stuff really works!!

The best polymer type "slime coat" product on the market. Binds great to meds, improves healing significantly, great just to toss in in addition to almost any other med. Occasional sore or something is the ideal use case for something like this. Wouldn't recommend the full amount regularly if you're an experienced keeper, healthy fish don't *need* products like this and I imagine you'll exhaust your chemical filtration more quickly. But still, another great product from the ogs, kordon.

This is a should-have potion for your fishy friends, useful for preventative health care and maintenance. It's hard to say if it can be proven to do anything, however I seem to notice less stress amongst the fish. Improved slime coat and beneficial vitamins/herbs/etc. are also nice theoretical benefits. Supposedly it's also particularly useful while shipping or transporting fish because of the de-stressing ability. While not a mandatory purchase, it's certainly smart to have this on-hand as another weapon in your arsenal to heal sick/injured fish or to just maintain their general health.

Fancy goldfish are fairly delicate and they're notorious for getting sick no matter how hard you work to keep their water pristine with twice a week w/c. The Kordon Fish Protector is exactly what fish need should they get sick because it helps bind medicine to their bodies in their slime-layer, making healing quicker and more effective. Also excellent for transporting goldfish in their bags from breeder to home. I can tell you, it saved my ill fancy goldies and saved me lots of money!

Thank You

It's great for boosting their immune system. Use it when you do a water change or transportation so they don't stress. If you're treating them for anything, it helps it work better and adds extra slimecoat. Anyone who owns fish should have this. Your fish will thank you. It's a good size bottle too that will last you awhile. The only time you shouldn't use it is when the gills are swollen and full of mucus and having a hard time breathing.
