Stress Coat and water conditioner?

[Dellilah]

Hello, I'm a new to owning fish/bettas and I have a question about Stress Coat. Should it be used in conjunction with a water conditioner or as a water conditioner by itself?

The directions on the bottle imply that it should be used as a water conditioner, but from reading other threads it kind of sounds like it is used in addition to a conditioner. Currently I'm using Aqueon Betta Bowl Plus as my water conditioner if that makes any difference.

It's a conditioner. It also helps with the stress/slime coat hence it's name. My conditioner helps the stress/slime coat, too. You don't have to change conditioners if you want.

Okay, that's good to know. The conditioner I'm using says it helps with the slime too, so I'll keep on using it (atleast until it runs out).
