I’ve been using this salt for my Malawi cichlids for three months. Their coloration has improved and they seem more active. The instructions were clear and the salt dissolves easily in the water.

Good product for maintaining water balance. I mixed it with the tank water weekly and noticed fewer health issues in my fish. A bit expensive but worth it for cichlid care.
