Trilineatus eggs fungused?

Post by Starsky »

Only water parameter I can give is temperature-- 26 degrees celsius. Other info-- Tap water is treated with Angel Drops water purifier to neutralize harmful metals and toxins in the water and seven drops of methylene blue. Decorations are a driftwood, some plants, and a clump of java moss. I have not done a water change since the eggs appeared.

I moved out the tril breeders only after three days after first day of spawning and only then did I put in methylene blue. I suspect this might have been too late because I notice white fuzz developing on some of the eggs. But this is the first time that I've actually tried to spawn corys so I'm not really sure how fungused egg and fertilized egg look like. Hope somebody here can help me identify them correctly. It's been three days since they were laid. Here's a picture--

Yup, the eggs with the white fuzz are fungused.
