Natural Salt – Tonic for Aquarium and Pond Fish Health
Stressful moments such as introducing new fish, handling, water changes or minor injuries leave fish more vulnerable to disease, and many keepers don’t have a simple, natural first line of defence on hand.
This is a pure, natural salt with no additives, used to support electrolyte balance, ease osmotic stress on the gills and slime coat, and help protect against certain external parasites and nitrite toxicity. It’s a straightforward, general-purpose tonic suited to everyday aquarium maintenance as well as larger pond systems.
