The drug may be used as an alternative to malachite green for the control of fungus when it is known that the fish to be treated are sensitive. Methylene blue is safe for use with fish eggs and fry for the prevention of fungal infections. As a secondary use, it is effective against some external protozoans, such as ich, chilodonella and costia.

I set up a hospital tank for my dwarf gourami because he had a swim bladder issue, but after just a few days he was showing signs of improvement and after a week was ready to be put back in the regular tank. I put methylene blue as well as salt in the hospital tank and it worked great. I hope none of my fish get sick again but if they do I will be using this.

BEWARE: This stains everything it touched blue, including your hands and is a pain to get off, if at all. Not sure if it actually does something for my fish, but it was a good price

I've been using methylene blue for a long time. I use it for fungus on my fish if I notice a little bit starting or if their coat starts getting a little slimy. I usually try this before I try anything else. Or if for some reason my nitrates or nitrite spike I'll use this a little bit for some added oxygen if my fish start getting stressed out or are already stressed out. This has always worked very well for me. I've never had any fish stressed out about it. No headshaking ever like what happens when I add metronidazole or praziquantal or other meds.Methylene blue has also never hurt my pond plants. I don't pour it directly in my pond. It's always been in the hospital tank. I did recently use it when I bought some water hyacinth from a pond shop. I always bring them home and put them in a container with grow lights and heat to make sure that they don't have a bunch of snails and dragonfly nymphs and whatever else there is on those things. Well, I ended up having a bunch of baby fry fish hatch from these plants. About a week later the little fry baby's started turning white and dying. I wasn't really sure what to due because I didn't want to kill these plants that I just spent a couple hundred dollars for and I didn't want to let the baby fish die. I added some methylene blue and some nitrofuranzone together with the baby fry and with the plants which also had snails, snail eggs, dragonfly nymphs on them and the white that I guess was fungus on these little baby fish I can't really tell because they were so small. I did it once left it in there for two days and then the partial water change and I didn't have any more baby fry fish die and my Hyacinth plants are still growing and still blooming. Some even flowered out purple flowers right away. So it didn't hurt them at all. I was kind of disappointed about these plants and there had to have been something on them for these baby fish to get this but not only that the guy told me that they had goldfish in with the plants. I called And asked him after all these baby fries start hatching. I think something that people should think about, and I don't know if people actually just buy plants and throw them in their ponds. I always did and I always ended up coming down with some kind of ailment around that time and I just thought it was a change in temperature, water parameters. But if the place where you buy the plants has goldfish or other fish in with them they have a fungus or bacterial infection and you bring those plants home and throw them in your pond you're going to bring that stuff into your pond. So for now on I quarantine my plants.Back to the methylene blue. It's definitely blue. I've never had it stain anything. I took pictures of what it looked like. It took pictures of my fingers after completely just dipping them in the stuff. And then the last picture I took was me washing my hands one time. It was almost completely off. Once I take a shower it's completely gone. I've never had the methylene blue stain anything that I've ever had permanently. I think that having the methylene blue around in case you have something going on and you don't know what it is is a fish lifesaver. You can at least be able to use it just in case you need to. It is better than not having anything at all. If I wouldn't have had the methylene blue on hand along with the nitrfurazone at the time I'm pretty sure all the little fish would have been dead. Because that morning when I checked on them they had nothing white on them. Later that afternoon is when I started noticing it. About four of them died.So that's my methylene blue story. I'm not sure how it would stain if you got it like on your rings or your jewelry or anything but it does eventually go away when I get it on my hands and stuff.

Kordon Methylene Blue is an essential chemical for any aquarist. Methylthioninium chloride treats eggs to ensure they are not lost to fungal overgrowth. Methylene Blue can also be used for the treatment of nitrate poisoning and ammonia, as well as an antiparasitic, antifungal. It can also serve as an aquarium safe disinfectant.Some disorders that I have used to treat Methylene Blue are as follows: Nitrite Poisoning, Ammonia Poisoning, Ichthyophthirius Multifilis, Oödinium Pilularis, Swim Bladder Disorder, Fish Stress, and Egg Fungus. To identify some of these conditions I will list some basic symptoms as you can easily identify the disorder. Nitrite Poisoning - Fish gasp for breath, brown or tan gills, rapid gill movement known as gilling. Ammonia Poisoning - Fish gasp for breath, purple or red gills, lethargic - to which the fish may lay on the bottom, red streaks may appear on the fins or the body. Ichthyophthirius Multifilis (AKA ICK) - Small white spots resembling sand or substrate, fish scratches against objects and damage their slime coat. Oödinium Pilularis (AKA Velvet) - this disorder is caused by a parasite. The cycle is rough on the fishes body and as a high contamination rate, so it is important to treat this as soon as possible. Swim Bladder Disorder - Fish struggles to maintain proper position, floats upside down, swims with tail higher than their head. Fish Stress - Prophylactic treatment of fish under stress, usually due to being move. Fish may seem fatigued with a loss of appetite and discoloration. Egg Fungus - Serves as a safe and mild disinfectant for fish eggs.Methylene Blue can be used with crustaceans including but not limited to shrimp, crabs, and snails. However, the chemical should be introduced slowly and with great caution. Additionally, I do not recommend using Methylene Blue with live plants since it will kill healthy bacteria and oxygen deprive the plants causing them to be damaged or in most cases killed. It's important to use it with caution with crustaceans or live plants and should only be used to short periods.It is important to note that Methylene Blue should not be used concurrently with water conditioners. If you do treat the water with a conditioner wait 30-minutes before adding Methylene Blue. Also, discontinue the use of carbon media in filters while treating with Methylene Blue otherwise, the carbon will remove the chemical to which it will not affect. Lastly, Methylene Blue will be absorbed by porous materials such as coral, rock, and wood. In most cases, it will also permanently color the silicone sealant in aquariums. After all treatments, a complete or partial water change should be made and don't forget to put back the activated carbon in the filter.
