Do you guys remove the spawning material to hatch in another tub? I have been doing this with temperature matched water plenty of aeration and a trickle filter.
I can only purchase a melachite green/formalin mix. Do you think the formalin would cause a problem for the developing eggs?
I’ve got one more shot at a nice showa pair and would love to get a few fry to work with. I just can’t understand why I’m not getting anything at all. I’m stumped!
