TETRA EASY BALANCE, WITH NITRABAN, (in it's 8 ounce size), is supposed to make 500 gallons of water safe for tropical
fish - making it VERY economical! And it IS a necessity for fish.
Tropical fish, you see, cannot take the chemicals put into water
that we humans can. Or at least, it effects them in a negative
way more quickly. I mean, all those chemicals CAN'T be good for
humans, either -- that's why I use home-made distilled water for
coffee, tea, and other (human) beverages I make at home. Distilled
water is good for fish as well -- but, along with the chemicals
left at the bottom of the distilling jar, (with the water that is
thrown away), are also the minerals that come in water! I can
buy mineral supplements for me -- but I don't think there are any
mineral supplements for fish! Anyway, often I use regular tap
water + a water conditioner/ "safe-maker" for my little Betta fish,
and sometimes I use distilled water with the water-conditioner...
distilled water STILL has benefits, I think.
Anyway, the water-conditiner here is supposed to be for ALL fish.
My Betta fish did not take adversely to it at all -- and the
lady I called up from the TETRA company said she gives it to her
Betta fish with no ill effects, (either?). However, at a pet store,
I saw they had both their own brand of fish water conditioner, and
a smaller bottle of fish water conditioner made specifically for
Betta fish. On my last visit to the pet store, I asked them what
the difference was. They said the Betta fish need the special
conditiner because they are more delicate than other fish. How-
ever, I saw no difference when I used their special Betta water
conditoner, and the TETRA water conditioner for all fish. Maybe
their brand of water conditioner for all fish is less gentle than
the Tetra all-purpose water conditioner. I don't know. I havn't
tried their brand, as yet.
The Tetra Easy Balance, (all-fish), water conditioner must be shaken
before use. This is the most trifling of inconveniences -- I think
ALL water conditioners, and other liquids, (for humans and for pets),
should be shaken -- unless the label says otherwise. Couldn't hurt,
I don't think. However, the Tetra Easy Balance Water Conditioner is
a LOT THICKER than the special Betta water conditioner I got at the
pet store. This may mean only a little must be used -- but it's SO
thick, I found some that had inadvertently dripped out had, after
a while, dried and solidified near the bottle opening! It was easy
to brush away -- but rather shocking to find it there.
In sum, my little Betta fish, (named "Pink"), liked the Tetra Easy
Balance water-conditioner just as much as the special Betta water
conditioner from the pet store. Sometimes, before I put the water
conditioner in, she'd just be kind of sluggish around the top of
her fish-bowl. After putting the Tetra-water conditioner in, she'd
become active and playful! It really does make a difference!
It isn't written on the Tetra bottle -- but on the Betta fish conditioner from the pet-store, it mentions that it works better when mixed with the water before puting the fish in. This makes sense, I think. Fully diluted water / conditioner is, for fish, like already
-stirred coffee for humans!
So, I'll end my review here with a few "words" from my little Betta fish, Pink.
............Pink says: "I LIKE WHAT IT DOES FOR THE WATER, AND I.....
............ENJOY SWIMMING IN IT!"....................................
You can't get a better recommendation than that! }}}}===(o>
