Egg fungus

[Deleted]

So what's the best product to stop eggs from having fungus on them. Some of the killie eggs are going south and I dont want them all to go bad

I use either Alder cones or methylene blue. The Alder cones are a natural tree cone from the Alder tree . Methyene blue works well but will stain the airline tubing and silicone in the tank.

Have you checked to see that you're keeping the killie eggs properly? Many require only being damp in peat for up to 6 months before you can try to hatch them.

ya they arent the annuals they are the gardneri's i made sure i researched how to hatch them. also i think it may have to do more with this being some of the first eggs and not being fertilized or something.

Good luck on your next try then!
