NT Labs Methylene Blue 100ml for SG fish, fry and eggs

Methylene Blue is a long-trusted treatment for fungal infections, some external protozoan parasites and certain bacterial issues, and it is especially valued for being safe with eggs and fry. We point breeders towards it for protecting spawns from fungus, and keepers towards it for fish showing cotton-wool growths, a velvety film, or open wounds. It is gentle enough to work as a dip or in a dedicated treatment tank.

We strongly recommend using it in a separate quarantine or hospital tank rather than your display, because the dye stains silicone, decor and substrate, and it will knock back the beneficial bacteria in your biofilter. In Singapore’s warm 27-29C water, keep aeration high during treatment and observe fish closely, as stressed or heavily medicated fish can struggle for oxygen in heat.
