Fritz A+ Aquarium Salt is an all-natural freshwater aquarium salt designed to provide essential electrolytes that support normal gill function and overall fish health. These electrolytes help freshwater fish with important biological processes including oxygen uptake and the release of carbon dioxide and ammonia through the gills.
Fritz A+ Aquarium Salt can be used during new aquarium setup, water changes, transport, recovery from illness and certain treatment situations where additional salt support is appropriate.

Aquarium salt does not evaporate and is not removed by normal filtration. Only replace the amount of salt removed during water changes rather than repeatedly adding a full dose.
Use care in planted aquariums, as some live plants may be sensitive to elevated salt levels.
