I have an orange blaze male and two females. The one female raised about 35 fry successfully, and the second raised about 15. (first round)
Now for round two. I have one on each side of a 10 gallon, and allowed the male to go between them. Each laid about 30-40 eggs under a different clay pot (one on each side of aq). Ironically about 1/2 of the eggs on one side are turning white (fungus), and the other side seems to be doing OK. Any ideas what might be happening? I think the water quality is OK, and the male (same father as the other fry) appeared to be entering both caves, fanning, and having a somewhat amorous, good time.
I finally put up the divider, and left the male on the side where the eggs are fungusing. I am thinking about pulling him.
Ironically in round 1 it seemed no eggs fungused, and the water may not have been changed as often as this round.
I have a light that auto works for about 10 hours per day, would this have any affect on the eggs? I don't recall if it was on during round 1 or not.
Any input is appreciated.
