Natural sea salt for freshwater fish

🐟 Optimizing Osmoregulation and Vitality

API aquarium salt is not just an additive; it's a powerful physiological conditioner. In a closed environment, a lack of electrolytes can hinder oxygen uptake through the gills. This product restores mineral balance, allowing fish to absorb oxygen more efficiently and expel carbon dioxide and metabolic ammonia more effectively.

🌿 A Natural Stress Reducer

Made from evaporated seawater, this salt acts as a natural tonic. It is particularly recommended when introducing new fish or after a significant water change. By strengthening the protective mucus barrier (the "slime coat"), it helps fish fight external aggressions and common pathogens.

🛡️ Therapeutic Support and Recovery

When treating diseases like fin rot or skin parasites, this salt promotes tissue regeneration. It reduces osmotic pressure on the fish's kidneys, allowing it to concentrate its energy on its immune system rather than on maintaining its internal fluids.

To treat your fish without unbalancing your system, prioritize the use of a hospital tank. This protects your plants and nitrifying bacteria, which are often sensitive to sodium. Before any introduction, it is essential to dissolve the salt in an external water container to avoid gill burns from direct contact.

Finally, remember that salt does not evaporate : only add it proportionally to the volume of water actually changed, and never during a simple top-up, to avoid toxic accumulation.
