Fritz Algae Clean Out 16 oz: check the Amazon listing against the label
A concrete identity check for the 16 oz Amazon listing, current manufacturer catalogue and freshwater-invertebrate warning.

Manufacturer-source commentary · Not a clinical review or treatment recommendation.
Quick answer
The Amazon listing checked is Fritz Aquatics Algae Clean Out, 16 oz, ASIN B007GCE2W2. The manufacturer currently lists its 16 oz size as 473 mL. Match the actual bottle and directions before buying; a listing match does not establish compatibility.
Figure data and explanation
Fritz Algae Clean Out: a real listing check, with the livestock restriction kept separate.
- Manufacturer pack
- 16 oz / 473 mL; verify item and UPC.
- Amazon listing
- ASIN B007GCE2W2; title says 16 oz.
- Bottle in hand
- Match the actual label and directions.
The purchase link does not override the freshwater shrimp and snail restriction.
What was actually checked
The Amazon product page opened in Safari on November 8 names Fritz Aquatics Algae Clean Out for fresh and salt water aquariums, 16 oz. The manufacturer’s current product-document table identifies a 16 oz, 473 mL size, item 75025016 and UPC 080531250167. These are recorded identity fields, not proof that every seller’s stock has the same label revision. This check did not authenticate the seller or establish the listing’s bottle UPC.
Compare identifiers of the same kind
An Amazon ASIN identifies a catalogue listing; a manufacturer item number identifies a product in the manufacturer’s system. Their text is not supposed to be identical. To check a received bottle, compare the complete product name, size, actual label, UPC where available and applicable directions. Do not infer a formulation revision from an ASIN alone. A marketplace title may stay the same when images, sellers or stock change.
| Identity field | Observed value | What remains unverified |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon ASIN | B007GCE2W2; title says 16 oz | Seller stock, bottle UPC and revision |
| Manufacturer size | 16 oz / 473 mL | Identity of the bottle ultimately supplied |
| Manufacturer item / UPC | 75025016 / 080531250167 | Whether the received bottle matches |
Keep the freshwater restriction beside the purchase decision
The current manufacturer page separately permits saltwater invertebrate use and tells users to remove freshwater invertebrates, including shrimp and snails. A broad fresh-and-saltwater headline does not cancel that freshwater restriction. Nor does the product’s no-copper claim clear shrimp. Read the complete directions for your actual water type and livestock; this article does not select an algaecide or give a treatment plan.
Use the link without treating it as additional evidence
FishyMag’s optional Amazon link is marked as an affiliate link. The retailer supplies its current price and availability. A commission, customer review or retailer summary does not change the manufacturer evidence. The photograph accompanying this guide is an AI-generated editorial scene, not a photograph of the actual listing or a hands-on product test.
When the bottle arrives
Retain a readable photograph of the front, directions, restrictions and identity markings. If the label differs from the manufacturer page or the ordered listing, preserve the difference and ask the seller or manufacturer which document applies. Do not bridge an unresolved identity gap with a dose conversion or a reassuring claim for another product. The dated FishyMag formulation record retains its own review date.
Put it into practice
Your checklist
- Check ASIN, manufacturer fields and the actual bottle as different identity records.
- Keep the freshwater-invertebrate removal instruction visible.
- Treat the affiliate link as optional commerce, not compatibility evidence.

Read the formulation evidence
These links provide context, not product recommendations.
FishyMag reports what manufacturers say, quoted and linked. It does not diagnose illness or recommend a treatment, and it never infers that a product is safe from the absence of a warning — where no statement exists, it says so.
Formulations change. Always read the label on the bottle in your hand, and contact the manufacturer if your tank contains anything valuable or unusual.
