Aloe Vera
 

most aloe vera is prepared with the skins, and the skins contain some soapy detergent
like substance, saponins, that is not beneficial to fish. Ingrid

Thanks for the reply. I Have aloe vera plants. If I peeled off the skin, would it then be useful, and if so, when would it be appropriate to use aloe vera?

in the water I would ask why? smear on a wound on the fish, OK.
the best water "additive" is a bit of salt. Ingrid

I imagine from all the products displaying 'slime coat' additive bull****.
seriously tho, as long as you never damage the slime coat with rough
handling
the fish make enuf for itself
I have heard it can have benefits taken internally
usually the larger species but I can't see it hurting if added to a gelatine
food
research 'european shrimp mix' and then add some aloe to the recipe
could be a goer!!
