Re: [Killietalk] BIV 'Funge' C91

HUFAs have been shown to increase survival of marine larvae and probably
have the same benefits for freshwater fishes. The cyclopeze would provide
that high quality nutrition (HUFAs and carotenoids), but excess could foul
the water and kill either the developing embryos or the sperm before egg
fertilization. I assume the tubifex are live, so they would not be a cause
of pollution. If, on the other hand, you are talking about frozen or (worse)
freeze-dried tubifex, then I would look to them as primary polluters. In
either case, I suggest that overfeeding is the first possibility to consider
as to why the eggs appear infertile or simply die right away. I doubt that
either sex is infertile, or they wouldn't be producing eggs at all. Finally,
it's important to know for a fact that you have a male, and are not getting
eggs from two spawning females.
