I am currently treating my tank for ICH, using methylene blue, but my Chinese algae eater is restless. Are Chinese Algae eaters sensitive to MB? Thank-you.

welcome to fishlore!!

fish dont like meds usually but mb isnt that harsh..maybe he was very stressed to begin with and its affecting him more.....but for ich, turning up your temps to 83f for two weeks will kill the cycle of it...vacuum the gravel to get out all the hiding ich spores and some extra airation as warmer water has less oxygen, should take care of things.....goodluck!

CAE's are very restless by nature. They're constantly moving around like they have ADD. They'll eat a little from a leaf, then swim across the tank to another leaf, and again and again.

for example...
