Don't take the eggs off the mops with your fingers, use a toothpick.
Touching the eggs may be the problem.
Sincerely,

Subject: [Killietalk] HELP- Trouble with Puerzli eggs!!!!!

Hi all- I have a pair of Fp puerzli in a 5.5-gal tank with java moss and
bottom mops.  They're getting fed live blackworms and fozen bs/blood worms.
I got them from Dave Ramsey last September (2003), so I'm assuming they're
around 1-yr old.  here's my dilemma....

I'm getting good egg production (10-15 eggs every day or so), but almost
all the eggs are fungusing!!!!  I've used acriflavine solutions (recipes
that have appeared previously on killietalk) and even made up some of Ed
Warner's hatching solution...still lots of fungusing!!!!

My intent was to make sure I had 20-25 good eggs, then I was going to
incubate them on damp peat....

Any thoughts/advice???
