Disagree on that! I've been having great success not just with one pair but several different pairs. I move the eggs to RO after an hour from the male fertilizing. I leave the eggs in the RO for a good 40hrs and then return the eggs back to the parents or raise them artificially. Either way I move them straight 100% treated tap water before they hatch. I do not have any deformed fish, couple runts buts that's normal.
