Maracyn Oxy and killi eggs question

Recommended Posts

I've had my golden wonder killi fish for a few weeks now and they have started breeding up a storm. Unfortunately I keep losing the eggs to fungus. Would maracyn oxy work like methylene blue to help prevent this? I ask because I have Fritz maracyn oxy on hand but no methylene blue; or should I just order some of the blue stuff? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

 

Edit: I am pulling the eggs from the mop and transferring them to a breeder box.

The active ingredient in maracyn oxy is sodium chlorite  has anti fungal property's I have read about people using it to treat eggs and it seem to work well with an 83% successful hatch rate of eggs treated with it

I've seen some say placing an organic Rooibos tea bag in with your eggs would help with fungus 

This is interesting. I know someone posted about using them for tannins in tanks. I wonder if Indian almond leaves would work?
