Methylene Blue is effective against superficial fungal infections of
fish. The drug may be used as an alternative to Malachite Green for the
control of fungus when it is known that the fish to be treated are
sensitive. Methylene Blue is safe for use with fish eggs and fry for the
prevention of fungal infections. As a secondary use, it is effective
against some external protozoans, such as Ichthyophthirius (Ich),
Chilodonella and Costia.
SAFE TO USE WITH FRY
The properties of the drug as an oxygen transporter (it converts
methemoglobin to the normal oxygen carrying component of fish blood,
hemoglobin) allow it to be used in the treatment of known cyanide and
nitrite poisoning of aquarium fishes. It has been suggested that newly
arrived marine fish placed in Methylene Blue can have their survival
rate increased as Methylene Blue aids in the reversal of nitrite and/or
cyanide poisoning.
The therapeutic action of Methylene Blue on bacteria and other parasites
is probably due to its binding with cytoplasmic structures within the
cell and also its interference with oxidation reduction processes.
