Treats fungus and external protozoan parasites on fish
Methylene blue is commonly used by fish breeders to prevent and treat fungal infections on fish eggs, as well as treat fish with cyanide and nitrite poisoning. As a secondary use case, it can help treat superficial fungus and some external protozoan parasites on fish. The disease symptoms can include white tufts or strands on the body (fungus) and scratching on the tank bottom or objects (external parasites).
Treat Egg Fungus
Adding methylene blue until the water is blue is a great way to keep fungus at bay. This won't prevent unfertilized eggs from going bad, but it can keep them from contaminating the good, viable eggs.
A Little Goes A Long Way
You only need a few drops for treating eggs, so a bottle of methylene blue will last for years. Use our catch cup with an air stone and some methylene blue to easily hatch corydoras catfish and other fish eggs.
Improve Your Hatch Rate
When hatching fish eggs, add an air stone in a container like our catch cup to increase oxygen flow in the water and prevent fungus from spreading to the fertilized eggs.
