need quick reply, panicing about methylene blue!!!

[justarn]

hey, cut a short story short my midas has a lump i made a rash decision and dosed my 6x2x2 with a full 100ml and turned the water black after reading the side and how much it treats (110 gal) now im thinking i may have overdone it???

done a 10% water change straight after to clear it a bit that was an hour ago, will a dose like this be harmful and should i do a bigger water change now? or let it run its course 10% per day till its clear?

on the plus side my big midas 'carlsberg's' (prob the best fish in the world lol) lump seems to have burst and the swelling has gone down... suspect its a parasite but he ho

advise please fish gurus???

You have a 180? It treats 110
You'll be fine if I'm reading everything correctly

Where is the hump?

under his eye, it came up about 3 days ago, white and about the size of half a garden pea but a little pointier. he is about a foot and was rubbing his eye, thought id rather catch it sooner! it seems to have some stringy stuff hanging out of it now!

He will be fine. No more water change needed.

right come on people, the methylene blue is going done another 15% waterchange today as per instruction less of a worry now... the midas' lump burst and it now has what looks like a maggot hanging out of it.... it may be just some disscharge of the lump, its hanging out about 6/7 mm about 3mm wide and maggot shaped, it doesnt look like an anchor worm, cotton wool, or cauliflour and i cant find anything on the whole web about this prob!!!! anyone have any idea what this is?

fingers crossed it falls of and dissappears!!!
