In summary, water conditioners are widely used in fishkeeping to improve water quality and create a healthier environment for fish. While their impact on fish behavior has been a topic of concern, a comprehensive study has shown that most commercially available water conditioners have minimal impact on fish behavior. However, certain conditioners containing stress coat additives were found to have positive effects on fish stress levels. It is important to choose the right conditioner for your fish species and follow dosage instructions to avoid any adverse effects. Regular monitoring of water parameters and following best practices in fishkeeping are still crucial for maintaining a healthy aquatic environment.
