Hi all,
I'm a bit of a amateur so still learning the ropes.
Got a breeding paid, young male, female is a couple of months older, who have had several spawns. They ate the first couple of spawns so i decided to put mesh on the breeding tube.
So they've spawned again and about 50% of the eggs got fertilised, 24 hours later still all good no additional white eggs.
At about 48 hours and just checked them again and 90% of the eggs have gone white and what looks like fungus all over the eggs. I did put meth blue in the tank about 2 hrs after the spawn.
So Im probably going to let it go for another 8 hours but could someone confirm this is fungus and am I better off leaving the breeding tube unmeshed in the future and let nature take its course. Is it possible that the male is not 100% fertile still? And any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance
