most aloe vera is prepared with the skins, and the skins contain some soapy detergent
like substance, saponins, that is not beneficial to fish.  Ingrid

Thanks for the reply. I Have aloe vera plants. If I peeled off the skin
would it then be useful, and if so, when would it be appropriate to us
aloe vera?

in the water I would ask why?  smear on a wound on the fish, OK.  
the best water "additive" is a bit of salt.  Ingrid

Why would you want to?  Where did you get the idea?

I imagine from all the products displaying 'slime coat' additive bullshit.
seriously tho, as long as you never damage the slime coat with rough
handling
the fish make enuf for itself
I have heard it can have benefits taken internally
usually the larger species but I can't see it hurting if added to a gelatine
food
research 'european shrimp mix' and then add some aloe to the recipe
could be a goer!!
