About Fritz Betta Guard

Fritz Betta Guard is a safe and effective pH-buffered water conditioner that neutralizes toxic chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals found in tap water, designed for small aquariums. FritzGuard Betta® promotes healing and reduces fish stress with aloe vera and vitamin E while providing necessary electrolytes.

Naturally secreted by mucous glands, the slime coat is a natural defense system that protects fish from disease, aids in osmoregulation, and reduces stress caused by sudden changes in the environment. Fritz Betta Guard provides a replacement slime coat to aid fish that have lost theirs or have been injured due to stress, poor water conditions, or handling.

Fritz Betta Guard enhances biofiltration by producing a slime coat over the filter media, aiding in the attachment of beneficial bacteria, like those in FritzZyme® biological products. It also includes natural Indian almond leaf extract to increase tannins in the water, known to lower pH, enhance colors, and provide antibacterial benefits.

Directions & Dosage

Use 5 mL (1 tsp) per 5 U.S. gallons (19 L). For areas with very high chlorine levels, dosage can be safely increased or repeated up to 5x.

• For best results, add FritzGuard® Betta to tap water in a separate container before adding water to aquarium.
• Each dose increases tannins by 0.25 ppm. For a higher tannin concentration, supplement with Fritz Almond Leaf Extract®.
• If using a protein skimmer, turn off for 6 hours after adding FritzGuard Betta® to reduce foaming if a concern.
• No other equipment restrictions necessary.
• No contraindications: can be used with all of our other products and meds.
• Overdosed? It’s safe to increase dosage up to five times. Observe livestock for distress, perform small water changes if needed.
• Test with a chlorine test kit.
