Kordon Methylene Blue 1 Gallon
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.

Overall greood experience. I'd say 5/5 on all counts, except the website has its quirks. The item I purchased was not in stock and the mailing address I provided was not useable, but the website allowed me go through with the transaction, even with emailed invoice etc. But the AquaCave staff is on top of things... they personally reached out with an email to tell me my item was actually backordered by two weeks and that I'd need to ship to another address. They promptly cancelled the first order before my card was even charged and I placed a fresh order. They also answered the phone when I had a question and were very responsive and helpful. After all that it was super smooth sailing. The item shipped faster than expected, was packed immaculately (rare in this day and age) and I got exactly what I paid for.
