“Methylene Blue: Understanding This Time-Tested Treatment”
Bright blue and oddly beautiful, methylene blue has been a staple in fishkeeping for generations — but do you really know when and how to use it?
This old-school remedy isn’t just about nostalgia. It’s still incredibly effective for treating certain external infections, protecting eggs during hatching, and improving oxygen transport in stressed or damaged fish. However, it’s not reef-safe, not a universal cure, and definitely not something you should pour into your display tank without a plan.
In this article, you’ll learn:
• What methylene blue actually does and how it works
• The most common and smart use cases
• Why it’s a quarantine tank MVP, but not for reef systems
• Safe dosage guidelines and dip instructions
• What not to do (seriously — don’t guess the dose)
If you’ve ever wondered whether that little bottle of blue deserves a place in your fish first-aid kit, this guide breaks it down clearly — without the fluff.
