AAP Res-Q Medicated Fish Slime Coat Conditioner
1 oz.- $5.99
8 oz.- $19.99
Add 1 teaspoon to each 20 NET gallons.



• AAP Res-Q is the ultimate water conditioner when fish have frayed fins or have visible abuse. A most effective product with seven way action. RES-Q detoxifies and conditions water by polymeric complexing (bonding) of metallic ions. Coats the fish with a slippery medicated bandage, balances osmotic processes, removes chlorine, clarifies water and aids in safe shipment of fish.
Res-Q does not color the water.
Used in lieu of other water conditioners if medication on the fish is indicated such as after injury or introduction of new fish.
Great when used in conjunction of a Medicated Wonder Shell.

* As per AAPs founder who has used this product in 1000s of professional applications, Res-Q is excellent both as a first aid and a water conditioner of choice when minor injury is present. In fact he used this product as the main water conditioner in 1000s of client aquariums.
It can also be directly applied via new fish introduction, as well as netting or "cupping" the fish.
In our founders controlled test, the use of Res-Q improved the results of Super Ich Plus and sped healing of minor fin & body damage as compared to Stress Coat which had zero effect.
The bottom line is this product (AAP Res-Q) along with AAP Shieldex & AAP/SeaChem Prime are water conditioners NO SERIOUS AQUARIUM KEEPER SHOULD BE WITHOUT!!

*Superior to Aquarium Solutions (Hikari) BioBandage Gel

All Freshwater Fish safe
Regular use does not impact bio-filter

• USE: One teaspoon treats 20 gallons for full tank treatment.
For injured or sick fish, suggested use is first netting fish and bringing the fish near the surface, but not out of the water, then using a syringe, eye dropper, or similar to squirt the fish directly with AAP Res-Q.

• Ingredients: Quinine Hydrochloride, Sulfamethazine, n Alkyl dimethly Benzyl Ammonium Chloride, Propyl Paraben, Sodium Thiosulfate and Polyacrylamide

Do you think this would be useful with amphibians, specifically axolotls? They do have a slime coat or something similar (I've handled them).

[Carl]

I've used it with mixed amphibian tanks as well as mixed water turtle tanks.

The benefit this unique water conditioner provides is besides the usual water conditioner reducing properties is the medicated slime coat it provides (Quinine Hydrochloride, Sulfamethazine), which would be especially useful for minor injuries too

Axolotls can be nippy (and even cannibalistic when they are young) so I think I will add some to my list. I'm trying to stock up so I can bundle and only pay shipping once.

[parker002]

I went ahead and ordered a 1oz. bottle (as well as some wonder shells and a Hydro Sponge Pro for a power head pre-filter).

Ironic, just got my Res-Q two days ago and already needed it yesterday. Daughter's mollies were clamping and shimmying and her barbs were showing signs of stress as well. Tested water parameters - no issues. No obvious signs of disease.

Did a small water change, added Prime and a small does of Res-Q and all of the fish snapped right out of it!

GREAT!
Though often, Res-Q is not quite this effective by itself.

Also with Res-Q, Prime not need be used unless there is an ammonia issue

Well it turns out it was temporary, more on that in another thread.
