what would a saltwater and methylene blue achieve? Just releave stress or would it have some effect on fluke or parasites?

I would think that any dip would be stressfull for the fish so might as well make it worth it?

The fish seem to be breathing pretty close to normal today, so that's good. Still twitching the head on regular basis though and darting here and there.

Oh, and just to state the obvious in case it isn't obvious...Methylene Blue stains anything it touches pretty much, meaning clothes, skin, silicone, many plastics. I always put on "fish clothes", wear gloves, use a glass beaker for dipping, and a disposable plastic knife to stir up the dip.
