clockwork Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 okay, so my angels laid some eggs. again. this time i decided to try and raise them rather than let them become dinner, so i got me some methylene blue and dosed it accordingly (1 tsp per 10 gallons) and now the whole tank is blue! keep in mind this is a tank set up specifically for the eggs and i plan on moving them in tonight. is this dose to high or is the completely blue look normal? the bottle is labelled 2.303% solution, i assume this is the concentration. any help would be great!

Sam Chicklets Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 If you followed the directions on the bottle it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfishal Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I have used the methlylene blue before on angel eggs and it worked great. After they hatched is when the hard part of keeping the alive came into place!! Just be sure that while transferring the eggs into the other tank that you keep the fully submerged under water or they will all die! Just put whatever they layed the eggs on into a ice cream pail or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairdeal Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Methylene blue has been around a long long time. I used it on angel eggs 40 years ago and it wasn't new to the market then. Anything that has been used for that long has to be pretty good I would say. Just follow the directions and yes it is supposed to turn the water blue.
