Methylene blue treatment, but suggest as a dip rather than in tank which would potentially kill off good nitrifying bacteria.
Dip the effected fish in a bucket of tank water mixed with correct dosage for volume.
Alternatively a bare heated quarantine tank with it in just for the effected fish.
Watch as mb will also stain silicon

Alright, so I've got kordon methylene blue, and Im going to dip today. SHould I dip just once overall, or should I dip once every day? Once a week?

Alright. Almost two days after the dip. I dipped them in the instructed amount of kordon methylene blue (around 50ppm) for 10 seconds, as instructed. Nothing seems to have changed, for better or for worse. Does it come into effect quickly, or do I have to wait longer?

My experience with meds is never a instant cure. Don't dip the fish anymore it will do more harm than good just be patient.
