Yes tannins works similar to using methylene blue but natural to prevent eggs from fungus. I believe the tannins from oak leaves and wood used in a 20 long helped apistogramma eggs. I have hard water really perfect for CA and african cichlid. Edited March 14 by Tlindsey Wrong word 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabokovfan87 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It is a benefit, but it may or may not be strong enough to have an impact. The best thing is going to be using a tumbler, colony breeding, or having a very clean setup (not a ton of muck in the tank rotting). On my corydoras eggs I get these little gnat looking things. I can't imagine they are beneficial. Some people also use neocaridina shrimp to keep them clean. Amano shrimp will seek out and eat the eggs like caviar.
