You can also use a wash aid or plain sodium sulfite (20gr/l) which speeds up
that dye removal (and washing).

there were images on it since it was probably very old, before all the
washing. When I completely finished it and looked closer the film seemed
bluish. I mixed up fresh fixer and fixed it again for a little over two
minutes which should have been enough to clear it, if it needed that and
using fresh fixer. I checked it again; still the same bluish color. I fixed
it a third time and just went through the whole process, washing washing. It
still looks the same. Does Neopan tend to have a bluish tint to it?

Left over anti-halation dye can be removed by extended washing. Tmax is
notable for this. I always wash film for at least 25 minutes in
continuously
exchanged water.
