Wunder Methylene Blue 1%

Wunder Methylene Blue 1% is a versatile and effective aquarium treatment designed to address a range of common fish health issues. This powerful antiseptic solution is ideal for treating fungal infections, certain protozoan diseases, and external parasitic conditions in fish. It also plays a critical role in safeguarding fish eggs from fungal growth, ensuring healthy development during breeding.

Methylene Blue is widely used to alleviate post-transport stress, protect against gill damage, and improve overall fish resilience. It can also serve as a supportive measure in managing diseases linked to oxygen transport in the blood.

While highly effective for fish care, this product should be used with caution in planted aquariums, as it can harm live plants if overused. For best results, it is recommended to administer this treatment in a separate quarantine or hospital tank.

Key Features:

• Treats fungal infections and protozoan diseases in fish.
• Prevents fungal growth on fish eggs.
• Supports recovery from post-transport stress and gill damage.
• Antiseptic properties promote overall fish health.
• Easy-to-use solution with precise dosing.

Usage Instructions:

• Dosage: 1 mL per 20 liters of water.
• Remove activated carbon from filters during treatment.
• Avoid prolonged exposure in planted tanks to prevent plant damage.

Precautions:

1. Avoid Overdosing:
   Always follow the recommended dosage (1 mL per 20 liters of water). Overdosing can stress fish and harm beneficial bacteria in your aquarium.

2. Use in Quarantine Tanks:
   Methylene Blue can harm live plants and stain decorations, silicone seals, and tank surfaces. For planted or display aquariums, treat affected fish in a separate hospital or quarantine tank to prevent damage.

3. Remove Activated Carbon:
   Activated carbon in filters will absorb the medication, reducing its effectiveness. Remove carbon before dosing and replace it with fresh media after completing the treatment.

4. Avoid Prolonged Exposure:
   Prolonged use can disrupt the nitrogen cycle by affecting beneficial bacteria in your aquarium. Use only for the recommended treatment duration.

5. Handle with Care:
   Methylene Blue can stain skin, clothing, and surfaces. Wear gloves and handle carefully to avoid accidental spills or stains.

6. Monitor Fish Health:
   Observe fish closely during treatment for signs of distress. If fish show excessive stress or unusual behavior, discontinue use and consult an aquarium specialist.

Advice for Usage:

1. Dosage:
   Add 1 mL of Wunder Methylene Blue 1% per 20 liters of aquarium water. Ensure accurate measurements to avoid overmedicating.

2. Application:

   • Mix the required amount of Methylene Blue in a container of aquarium water before adding it to the tank. This ensures even distribution and minimizes stress on fish.
   • Administer the solution slowly to avoid shocking the fish.

3. Treatment Duration:

   • For fungal infections or protozoan diseases: Treat for 3–5 days or until symptoms improve.
   • For egg protection: Use until eggs hatch or fungal risk subsides.

4. Post-Treatment Maintenance:

   • After completing the treatment, perform a 25–50% water change to dilute residual medication.
   • Replace activated carbon in the filter to remove any remaining methylene blue from the water.

5. Compatibility:

   • Avoid using methylene blue with other medications unless specifically advised by an aquarium expert.
   • It is safe for most freshwater fish but may not be suitable for invertebrates like shrimp and snails.

By adhering to these precautions and guidelines, you can maximize the benefits of Wunder Methylene Blue 1% while ensuring the health and safety of your aquarium inhabitants.
