Hi all,
Good day,

I recently added sodium thiosulfate to aquarium to de-chloronized water.

However, all the eggs gone bad. Last time there was about 70 wigglers when I didn't add sodium thiosulfate.

Do you guyz have any sucess in breeding FH while sodium is there in water!

Sodium thiosulfate is a reducing agent. It will start to reduce oxygen levels whenever there is no more chlorine, as an example.

I think that is why eggs are not hatching.
I will not use sodium thiosulfate this time and will try again.
