usmgp1 4 Posted December 18, 2012 Okay some of the ggs in my recent spawning have turned into fuzz balls! Doers that mean they have a fungus and are no good ? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikroll 236 Posted December 18, 2012 yes, fungus will also attack live eggs too as it spreads. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I-Goldfish 233 Posted December 18, 2012 Don't know as I have no experience but I read on a fungus treatment that it treats eggs so if it is fungus I would treat with one of them, the whole batch . Wait for a few more views first . Maybe post a picture and good luck with the babies . 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick11380 34 Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Bad eggs will still grow fungus even with fungus treatments. Edited December 18, 2012 by nick11380 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted December 18, 2012 Bad eggs will still grow fungus even with fungus treatments. I'm confused. What do you mean even with fungus treatments? Bad eggs will still grow fungus, yes, but if the treatment is effective, it should kill of the fungus. But that is neither here nor there. Bad eggs should be removed. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I-Goldfish 233 Posted December 18, 2012 I think just forget what I said about the treatment :s 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlipsHere 323 Posted December 18, 2012 Didnt I read some where that methylene blue can be used instead of water if you remove the eggs to say a small tank or container for safe hatching? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, people do use methylene blue to treat eggs, exactly for this purpose 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, people do use methylene blue to treat eggs, exactly for this purpose I do believe that it is a methylene blue SOLUTION though, and not M.B. being used instead of water Or not? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted December 18, 2012 Hehe, pure MB is a solid, and comes in crystal form So yes, it has to be made up at the appropriate concentration. Kordon sells one that is at a stock solution of 2.3%, I believe. Then you add a certain amount of that per 20 gallons. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
