Stella Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I am treating my Cran's bullies for ich, using my trusty malachite and formalin. One of the males has a nest of eggs, and he is defending them with such diligence that I didn't want to take the eggs off him. (Also I don't really want to be raising a whole lot of babies right now) I would have thought the medication would kill them, but I lifted the rock before and all the little eyes are still staring back at me... Any other thoughts/facts/observations with medications and eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimsum Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Formalin is a probable carcinogen in humans so might cause some deformaties in the developing eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I have used a mixture of meth blue or malachite or acriflavine or all three on eggs without problems.
