Reddit reviews Kordon #37344 Methylene Blue-General Disease Prevention Treatment for Aquarium, 4-Ounce, Blues & Purples

Get some Methylene Blue and use it to make brownies from a generic mix.

It's non-toxic, but it stains your kidneys blue, so you'll start peeing a deep blue color. It eventually starts washing out and your pee goes green before returning to normal. Freaks people out if they don't know why it's happening though.

Just a heads up, when you mix the MB into the brownie mix the batter will turn a greenish color, but after baking they look completely normal. Freshmen year of college I left a plate of these brownies out in the common room of my door the week before finals. Oh man was that good.

Edit: Forgot to add - you'll need almost a half bottle (2-3 oz.) of Methylene Blue in the brownie mix to get a blue color, other than that it will just be a yellowish-green, which isn't nearly as much fun.

It looks like his fins are still infected....

The following works really well:

1. Put him in a hospital cup that contains 1 tsp/gal aquarium salt and a few drops of methylene blue. Keep him in there for 20 minutes. Methylene blue inhibits both bacterial and fungal infections on the surface of fish, very useful medication to keep around. It does stain very easily so do not do this on carpet or anything that can stain easily.
   
   
2. Use a fishnet to move him to a second cup with aquarium salts only. This is the destaining phase.
   
   
3. Return him to the tank. Tank should have an established cycle, filtered and heated. Frequent water changes (50% two times a week) would work to keep the water clean. If the tank isn't cycled filtered and heated the rot does tend to come back. If you have indian almond leaves those in the tank help with recovery as well.
   
   I repeat the treatment 1-2X a week until I begin to see growth on the fins :)
   
   

EDIT: WARNING THIS CAN BE DANGEROUSI don't know anything that will turn poop a color. You'd have to use a decent amount of blue. However, slip some of this in someone's drink and they'll be peeing bright blue. Do both and complete the prank. BLUE FOR EVERYONE!

Here is the mobile version of your link

Don't put meth blue in main tank, it wipes out beneficial bacteria. As far as parasites coming back, if you leave the fish in there until you can't see any more spots plus a day or two you should be good. It's on Amazon

Its also used as a fish meds: http://www.amazon.com/Kordon-Methylene-Blue-4-oz/dp/B00025646W

thats all I can add

Find some methylene blue and put it in Coke or something dark like that. He'll be pissing blue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylene_blue#Prank

There's a review here too. Looks like 20 drops will do the trick: http://www.amazon.com/Kordon-Methylene-Blue-4-oz/dp/B00025646W

(not my fault if he dies or whatever, but I will take credit for stopping the theft!)

Thanks! I gave him a salt bath per these instructions today (found it on the sub while searching).

For the rest of the treatment I have a couple of options and I'm not sure which one to go with. I could

1. Continue with salt baths, and probably start combining that w/ Methylene Blue (seems cheap enough + useful to have on hand)
   
2. Move him to a quarantine "tank" w/ salt and daily water changes (the thing holds like 3qts, I have a bigger one but it leaks :/)
   
3. Just dose salt directly to the tank (worried that it'll kill off my plants)
   
   Also, any bloat I think I'm seeing is probably just me being paranoid, but what broad-spectrum antibiotic do you recommend I keep on hand as a just in case for the future? I was thinking either Maracyn II or Seachem Kanaplex.
