Kordon Methylene General Disease Prevention 4 fl oz

Kordon Methylene Blue is a powerful solution for combating superficial fungal infections in fish. It's an excellent alternative to Malachite Green, especially when treating fish that are sensitive. This product is also safe to use on fish eggs and fry, helping prevent fungal growth. Additionally, it effectively targets some external protozoans like Ichthyophthirius (Ich), Chilodonella, and Costia. However, be aware that methylene blue is toxic to plants and can harm biological filtration, causing ammonia and nitrite levels to rise quickly. It's best to carry out treatments in a separate hospital tank or other appropriate container. Also, note that it can permanently stain the silicone sealant in aquariums.

To use this Kordon Methylene Blue, first, transfer the fish to a separate hospital tank or a suitable container. This is important because the product is toxic to plants and can mess up the biological filtration in your main aquarium. Add the right amount of the solution according to the instructions on the package. It works great for preventing fungal infections in fish eggs and fry, as well as treating external protozoans. Keep an eye on the ammonia and nitrite levels in the treatment tank as they can rise rapidly. After treatment, don't return the fish to an aquarium with plants right away. And remember, this product can stain the silicone sealant in your aquarium, so be careful when using it.
