Hobbyists that use well water typically don’t have to worry about this as direct water sources offer more precise control of the purification process. Still, many use them anyway, as adding conditioner to water ensures the fish are protected. The frequency of using Stress Coat depends on the specific needs of your fish and the conditions of your aquarium. As a general rule, it is recommended to add Stress Coat during water changes or whenever you introduce new fish to the tank. This will help to minimize the stress associated with these events and provide immediate protection for the fish.
