it doesnt treat disease. it is a fungus treatment usually used when angel fish have fry to keep the eggs as clean as possible. i would not recomend it for discus

because it will destroy the slime coat therefore making them secceptable to discus. also if used in breeding the fry will not survive because there is no slime coat to feed off. it is okay in small amounts but overall i wouldnt bother.

ctvu , for breeding pair , the fry will eat the slime from parents body for the first 3-4 days since it becomes free swim, if you add meth blue, it will remove the slime from parents body and therefor the fry have nothing to eat. At that stage the fry will be too small to eat Baby brine shrimp.
