Bright blue and oddly beautiful, methylene blue has been a staple in fishkeeping for generationsโbut do you really know when and how to use it?
This old-school remedy isnโt just for nostalgia. Itโs still incredibly effective for treating certain external infections, protecting eggs during hatching, and helping with oxygen transport in stressed or damaged fish. But itโs not reef-safe, not a cure-all, and definitely not something to toss into your display tank without a plan.
โข What methylene blue actually doesโand how it works
โข The most common (and smart) use cases
โข Why itโs a quarantine tank MVPโbut not for reef systems
โข Safe dosage guidelines and dip instructions
โข What not to do (seriously, donโt guess on the dose)
If youโve ever wondered whether that little bottle of blue belongs in your fish first-aid kit, this guide gives you the full pictureโwithout the fluff.
