A freind of mine has a 4" Discus on the Methelyne Blue
to treat (14day treatment) an ich breakout. He did not
use a hospital tank so I'm concerned about a relapse when
his biofilter fails.

Then i read that Methelyne Blue neutralizes ammonia and
Nitrites, is that true?

Considering this, lets say he were to do a 10% water change
every day after the 14day treatment and slowly phase out the
Blue, would the left over dilluted Blue minimize the ammo and
Nitrite spike and in the meantime allow the biofilter to recover
as the Blue gets slowly phased out? Far fetched theory?

If not what is the best way to proceed? (He dosen't have
another tank) The 4" fish is in a 38gal with a 3" PLECO.

why is he treating a parasitic condition with an anti fungal medication ?. I
would think a product with malachite green and formalin like Rid Ich or
Quick Cure would be the way to go. Meth Blue as an anti fungal should not
kill the filter media.
