    Default discus eggs

    hi

    just a question.....

    can fertilized eggs grow fungus on them and stop them from hatching, or is it just the eggs that arnt fertilized are the ones that grow fungus and not hatch?

    if fertilizd eggs can grow also fungus and that stops them from hatching...should i add something to the water when there is eggs so no fungus grows on them for a higher rate of egg hatching?

    thank you

    LEE

    A fungus will travel; seeking out a fresh meal !

    If possible remove the fungused eggs - usually dead, already.

    Clean the foams, fungus thrive in messy places.

    Make sure the tanks is ''CLEAN''.

    W/C help.
