Aquasonic Methylene Blue 250ml

Aquasonic Methylene Blue 250ml (SKU: AQS21) is a high-capacity antifungal and water disinfectant essential for fish breeders, hatcheries, and multi-tank hobbyists. Highly valued for its ability to safeguard fish eggs from fungal growth, it also serves as a supportive treatment for nitrite shock, skin fungus, and external protozoan parasites. The 250ml bottle provides a long-lasting supply for frequent egg production and quarantine procedures. Suitable for both freshwater and marine aquariums, it offers a gentler alternative to stronger treatments like malachite green or formalin. While effective as a preventative measure, Methylene Blue is less potent against advanced fungal infections.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Breeding & Hatchery Facilities: Daily or weekly use in egg incubation setups to prevent egg mortality from fungus.

• Emergency Rescue Baths: Dose in quarantine or hospital setups when treating fish suffering from heavy nitrite exposure or physical wounds.

• Prophylactic Dips: Use as a brief dip treatment for newly acquired fish to reduce external pathogen loads.

How to Use

1. Egg Protection Dose: Add dropwise until breeding tank water reaches a clear, light blue tint (approx. 1–2 drops per L).

2. Shake the bottle well before use. Avoid combining with other medications unless directed

3. Standard Hospital Tank Dose: Remove activated carbon from filtration before treatment. Add 5 mL per 20 L of water.

4. Monitor biological filter parameters if used in established setups, or perform treatment in un-substated isolation tanks.

5. Perform water changes and reintroduce active carbon post-treatment to remove blue dye from the water column.
