fungus on eggs..... are they still viable?

[UES96]

My millenium rainbows just laid eggs. I placed the eggs in my fry tank with an air stone near by to circulate water but within 3 days a white fungus had covered them. Any chance they will hatch?

not necessarily, what color where the eggs when you moved them,

I have had my jag eggs get the fuzzies, and they all hatched just fine. if they where snow white then not viable to begin with, if off white/yellow/amber then they where. if you have moved them to a hachery tank, can light dose with Methylene Blue to prevent it from happening.

eggs were a beige color..... but the fungus is probably 1/4 inch thick over them now. I am leaving them in the fry tank to see what happens.
