FishScience Iron Boost

Fish Science Iron Boost is a concentrated iron supplement formulated specifically for planted aquariums. Iron is a critical micronutrient for aquatic plants — without adequate levels, growth stalls, leaves yellow, and red colouration fades. This supplement addresses that directly, supporting demanding plant species that standard dosing regimes often leave short.

What It Does

Iron plays a central role in chlorophyll production, which underpins healthy, vigorous plant growth. It also drives the vivid red and pink pigmentation in colour-demanding species. Without sufficient iron, plants cannot synthesise chlorophyll effectively, leading to chlorosis — the characteristic yellowing between leaf veins that signals deficiency.

Particularly Suited To

Red and high-demand plant species benefit most from targeted iron supplementation. Fish Science Iron Boost is well suited to genera such as Rotala, Ludwigia, and Alternanthera, which require consistent iron availability to maintain their characteristic colouration and growth rate.

Key Features
