No but any water you take out with the eggs may harbour the parasite. 
Even infected notho eggs can be washed and be quite viable and 
desease free but this is a schlep... Never the less, I may resort to 
it if I can't free the fish of the parasite outright.

They are already isolated along with all my non-annuals and 
Pseudomugils. As soon as possible I'm going to start collected eggs 
of the fish and bleaching tanks for them but I if this works (the 
treatment with flubendazole) then I would rather go with that as the 
bleaching hatching act is a logistical nightmare especially if you 
are already short on tanks and just managed to free all the other 
tanks of the parasite.

Anyway, thanks for the imput.

Keep well
