Antifungal and eggs

[adshark]

Do you all add any antifungal to the breeder tank after eggs are laid? If so, what and how much? I have my pair in a 20 tall. Thnaks in advance!

Generally no. Dead eggs some times will fungus up but it's not suppose to affect viable ones so if you do get fungus it's just unsightly. If that bothers you you can hit them with methane blue, but an article published not too long ago indicated there was a link between MB and belly sliding if MB was still present at free swimming. In other words if you decide to use MB you should then do large daily WCs to get the levels down to minimal by day 5.

Nope. Just clean water.
