Johnny B. Goode Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited August 27, 2021 by Johnny B. Goode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) 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 Edited August 28, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A. Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I've seen some say placing an organic Rooibos tea bag in with your eggs would help with fungus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone posted about using them for tannins in tanks. I wonder if Indian almond leaves would work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
