    It's more for the sick fish just to de-stress them when moving them to the quarantine tank.

    I tried Smirnoff Vodka but they were always mooning me in their drunken states!!! lol!!

    i think the sera 5 in 1 water conditioner also acts like an anti stress, but i think it also neutralises alot of chemicals in the water so your neutralising the meds so its sortof catch 22 i think. rather move them quickly, keep the water parameters the same, give them a place to hide and turn off the lights. i think that would be best for them.

    API makes a product called Stress Coat. I believe it's a good anti stress, helps reslime the scales, and also acts as a dechlor. I use it whenever I change water... fish seem to stay calm during the cleaning etc.
