I bought some Vitachem for salt water tanks on accident online and don't feel like jumping through all the hoops to return it. Is it ok to use in my tank (two five-gallon tanks with one betta each, one ten-gallon tank with a betta and a BN pleco, all tanks containing live plants) or should I find someone to give it to? Thanks!

probably not becuase it most definetly have different chemicals etc in it cuase ones formulated for fresh and one for salt. it from what i read about it it is kind of a fish vitamin. now a 80 year old person doesnt need the same vitamin that a 5 year old would idk if it would benifit your at all though im not to familiar with the product other then what i read

It should say on teh bottle if it can be used for either/or. If not I wouldn't use it.
sorry you got the wrong stuff

The makers of vita-chem say that you can, indeed, use saltwater for freshwater and vice versa, though the freshwater has been optimized for most freshwater fish and the saltwater has been optimized for most saltwater fish.
I did the same thing and went to the vita-chem website, and they have this question in its FAQs. I've been using the SW stuff for months now, and have had no problems with it.

You can use either, but get less benefits using the one geared for the other type of water.

sounds like it pretty much you choice if its more of a hassle to return it i would just use it

Almost precisely how the website worded it.
