    Hello guys its been a while since i'm really active here. Just want to say that i'm officially back and that here's a noob question. Can anyone recommend me any good methyl blue? I'm using it for breeding of angels/discus/other cichlids. Read up that methyl blue provides a almost clean environment for fish eggs to hatch properly as it kills up fungus etc.. Can any Shifu go more detail into this?(; Thanks a million in advance!

    I'd used Rid All Methylene Blue on Angel fish spawn, worked very well for me and is very inexpensive.

    no need to pm, just $2 per bottle.

    cheap local made product, its practically a dye.
    it will stain your walls or clothes, so practise with caution.

    If can, don't use it.

    I also use the yellow as a prevention, still Ok. Yellow initially and disappear shortly

    Yellow is for general aids.
    Blue, is for itch.

    Can we add green into the tank whenever we introduce new fish?

    I suggest not. Best is always quarantine new fish on a separate tank. You do not want to destroy the good bacteria in your main tank after many weeks of cycling.

    Quarantine will need another tank with air pump . This will not be possible for me due to space .
    any other way?

    Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too. You will have to decide yourself which risk you are willing to take. All the best!
