Adding Aloe Vera

[nagukush]

Hi Friends !

Sorry if this is a foolish question - I read in so many websites that many water conditioners have Aloe Vera in them for Fish'es skin. Is there any way that Natural Aloe Vera can be used / added in to the tank for keeping Fish's skin healthy ?

Just getting inquisitive here...

Here is a quote from this article:

Aloe vera. In the 1980s, gel derived from the subtropical succulent Aloe vera experienced a faddish popularity phase where it started to appear in some of the unlikeliest consumer products. Aloe vera gel has a numbing effect on the nerve endings in human skin, so it's genuinely welcome in the kitchen to soothe minor burns. Its gel keeps damaged tissues from drying, and to that extent Aloe vera "promotes healing." It has never had any legitimate use in aquariums, where drying of tissues is scarcely an issue. None whatsoever. Pure marketing.

I don't think you ever need to put aloe in you tank. I never had. Just my opinion.
