    if i accidentaly added too much Methylene Blue into the fish water will it cause anything to happen? i'm not sure of the amount and thus think i added too much of it into the water to cure my betta of a bacteria infection...

    adding methylene blue into a tank at any time is going to be a gamble
    meth blue is very bad for anything living, including your filter
    i'd flush it out, if i were you
    activated carbon works for this purpose

    you're not getting the point here
    meth blue is not a healthy solution to use, same as malachite green
    i'd go for more conventional antibiotics if i were you

    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

    Well, could have just do a water change if the tank is small. As DEA said, this type of medication are usually not recommended.

    A price paid for a lesson learnt.[]

    Betta luck next time.

    a word of advise, if u do use meds pls try to stay away from ocean free "super" series.
    Its locally agak agak mixed(can't really say produced in Lab conditions).
    stick to brands with proper R&D-usually European/US brands(a little more$ but worth). u'd get a better chance of survival.

    i dun think that's funny, though. Fish die all the time, but those in our care certainly merit some consideration for their water quality requirements. Pets aren't a game, nor a lottery ticket.
