Water quality is everything in an aquarium. Fish cannot remove themselves from a deteriorating environment the way other pets can from a dirty space, which means the responsibility for maintaining safe, stable water conditions falls entirely on the keeper. Aquasonic is a trusted Australian aquarium brand that has been supplying fishkeepers with water treatments, fish medications, conditioning salts and aquarium health products for decades. At The Vet Shed we stock a growing range of Aquasonic products for freshwater and tropical aquarium keepers across Australia.

Aquasonic Products at The Vet Shed

  • Aquasonic Methylene Blue - Methylene blue is one of the most versatile and long-established treatments in fishkeeping. It is used to treat fungal infections on fish and fish eggs, as a preventative dip for new fish during quarantine, and to address certain bacterial conditions and mild parasitic infections. It is particularly valued in breeding setups where protecting eggs from fungal contamination during incubation is critical. Methylene blue is also used to help fish recovering from nitrite or nitrate poisoning by supporting oxygen transport in the blood. A reliable staple for any fishkeeper's treatment kit.
  • Aquasonic Tropical Conditioning Salts 500g - Conditioning salts formulated specifically for tropical freshwater aquariums. Adding a small amount of aquarium salt to a tropical tank has several benefits: it helps maintain the natural osmotic balance of fish, supports gill function, reduces the physiological stress of fluctuating water conditions, and provides a mild protective effect against certain pathogens. Particularly useful during disease treatment, for fish that are stressed or recovering from illness, and for species from naturally brackish or mineral-rich water environments. The 500g pack provides a practical supply for regular use in home aquariums.

FAQs About Aquasonic

What is Aquasonic used for?

Aquasonic is an Australian aquarium brand producing water treatments, fish medications, conditioning salts, test kits and plant fertilisers for freshwater and tropical aquarium keepers. At The Vet Shed we currently stock Aquasonic Methylene Blue and Aquasonic Tropical Conditioning Salts, with more products available across the range.

What is methylene blue used for in fish tanks?

Methylene blue is a multipurpose aquarium treatment with antifungal and antibacterial properties. It is used to treat fungal infections on fish, to protect fish eggs from fungal contamination during incubation, as a quarantine dip for newly acquired fish, and to help fish recover from nitrite or nitrate toxicity by supporting oxygen transport in the blood. It is one of the oldest and most reliable treatments in fishkeeping and a valuable addition to any aquarium first aid kit. Always follow the dosing instructions carefully as methylene blue will temporarily stain tank water and can affect biological filtration at high doses.

Is methylene blue safe for all fish?

Methylene blue is generally safe for most fish species at correctly measured doses. It should be used with care in planted tanks as it can affect plant health and beneficial bacteria in biological filters. It is best used in a dedicated quarantine or treatment tank where possible. Always research the specific tolerance of the fish species you are treating and follow the Aquasonic Methylene Blue dosing instructions precisely.

Why would I add conditioning salts to a freshwater tropical tank?

While freshwater fish do not live in saltwater, a small amount of aquarium salt in a tropical tank provides several benefits. It supports healthy gill function by helping fish manage the osmotic difference between their body fluids and the surrounding water, which reduces physiological stress particularly during water quality fluctuations or disease. It also provides a mild protective effect against certain bacteria and parasites and can assist fish recovery during illness. The Aquasonic Tropical Conditioning Salts are specifically formulated for tropical freshwater use at appropriate concentration levels for the species typically kept in home aquariums.

Are conditioning salts safe for all tropical fish?

Most tropical fish tolerate aquarium conditioning salts well at the doses recommended for general conditioning and disease support. However, some species, particularly scaleless fish like certain catfish and loaches, and some soft-water species from naturally low-mineral environments, can be more sensitive to salt. Always research the salt tolerance of your specific fish species before adding conditioning salts to their tank and start at the lower end of the recommended dose range if you are unsure.

Can I use Aquasonic methylene blue during disease outbreaks in a community tank?

Methylene blue is best applied in a quarantine or hospital tank rather than a fully established community tank where possible. Used in the main tank it will stain the water, can affect biological filtration and may impact live plants. For treating individual fish or a small group, a separate treatment tank gives you better control over dosing and reduces the impact on your established aquarium ecosystem. If treating the main tank is unavoidable, follow dosing instructions carefully and monitor your biological filter closely during and after treatment.
