Reply To: Different breeding methods
OK speaking purely from a theoretical perspective regarding the fungus — I think if you have a healthy tank ecosystem then it stands to reason that the “good” bacteria will crowd out the bad bugs including the fungi. So this means going with the complete package of full-spectrum lighting, substrate and plants. I tend to avoid chemicals because I believe they’re not necessary — if they don’t exist in nature then they shouldn’t exist in the aquarium except under extreme, emergency/first-aid/short-term scenarios.
However, I’m still a novice fish breeder so that’s just my unproven 2 cents’. I don’t know if this fungusing of eggs is a normal thing even under the most ideal circumstances.
But yeah getting back on track… thanks again Lasseter for sharing your breeding methods.
