Is methylene blue harmful to A. cacatuoides fry ??

[mccidlee]

Those A. cacatuoides fry just start to free swim yesterday.. However, today I found the male A. cacatuoides has a skin wound, probably the male scratched himself against rocks while he tried to chase the other female, not the mother, in the tank, also, I found he sometimes scratches himself against rocks intentionally, maybe because of itching? or some other causes?

I was hoping that I could get some advice on this. Is it just a wound? or something worse? can I use methylene blue in the tank containing those fry? Is methylene blue harmful to A. cacatuoides fry ? what else I can do?

Thanks..
