Not persay. It has it's uses, but should not be used constantly or relied upon in the case of serious health issues..
Generally it is used to treat fungal infections and it can be used to reduce the stress and damage caused by NH3 and NO2 poisoning.
It can be used to treat fish topically much like Melafix, but it is pretty light weight in this regard. My opinion is that it is akin to a cup of tea with lemon and honey... Probably more for relief than actual cure.
It is also used to prevent fungal infection of fish eggs which can be prone to such issues.
With good fish husbandry, it is not important as such.
If methylene blue is blue, it means that the compound is in its oxidized state (methylene blue) and has accepted electrons. Methylene blue can exist in both oxidized (blue) and reduced (colorless) forms depending on its redox state.
No you should not treat an infected goldfish with healthy ones. The infected fish should be separated until it is healthy again and the remaining fish should be checked regally. Any medication you give an infected fish can harm any healthy fish.
i think the methylene blue will be make aqua blue because the charcoal will penerate the color of methylene blue,,,there are absorption process,,,in the charoal between the methylene blue.... (kharlz)
Methylene blue stains everything blue.
because methylene blue turns colourless when it is reduced by hydrogen. during respiration hydrogen is produced and instead of reducing NAD, it reduces methylene blue and turns methylene blue colourless. if methylene blue goes from blue to colourless then this shows that the cell is respiring as it is producing a suffiecient amount of hydrogen to decolourise methylene blue
Methylene blue will diffuse faster than potassium permanganate. Methylene blue has a smaller molecular size and a higher diffusion rate compared to potassium permanganate.
Methylene blue appears blue because of its molecular structure, which allows it to absorb light in the red-orange range of the visible spectrum and reflect or transmit light in the blue range. This selective absorption and reflection of light wavelengths give methylene blue its distinctive blue color.

Potassium permanganate has a higher molecular weight compared to methylene blue. The molecular weight of potassium permanganate is approximately 158.03 g/mol while the molecular weight of methylene blue is around 319.85 g/mol.
When a tomato cell is stained with methylene blue, organelles such as the nucleus, vacuoles, and possibly some smaller structures like mitochondria or chloroplasts may become visible under the microscope. Methylene blue tends to bind to nucleic acids and can highlight these structures within the cell.
Methylene blue is necessary for one thing. It is what helps transports cells.
