Not again!!!!!!

Ok, here's the deal. My oscars ate their FOURTH batch of eggs. That makes a total of 4 batches of eggs, and not one baby! I took about half of this last batch out and put in a one gallon jug with a bubble wand in it, but they all grew some sort of fungus around them.

HELP! HELP! HELP!!

Remove the eggs and use methelene blue and acriflavin to help keep fungas and protoazoans off the eggs. The air bubbler is good, and water change daily at least 10%.

Crap, you beat me to it. I would say remove as many as you can and use a powerhead for water flow and an antifungal. Also, make sure the eggs are directly under powerlines. I was born that way, and I am fine.

If you can afford it, get yourself a 55g, preferably two 55's, for the hatching.....I always use 2 55's for whatever I'm hatching/rearing.....Fill the tank(s) half way, you will do 40-50% water changes everyday...Place a powerhead on the bottom opposite side of the eggs....Make sure the output is low enough for that it will not create a tornado in the tank....Get a sponge filter(http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp19170/si1379360/cl0/lustarhydrospongefilter5) and place it inside....I like sponge filters who's sponges are elevated off the bottom, so that no fry cannot get trapped under...Maintain temperature at 82-84 degrees....After hatching, wait two weeks and then fill the tanks to the top....

Your eggs got fungus because there was not enough water current moving over them....Plus 1g jugs is not enough, well maybe for guppy fry(lol).....After your fry hatch, you will need at least two 55g tanks to raise a number of them to selling size(1 inch)...Keep us updated....
