[AquaticLife] Angelfish laying eggs

January 1, 2009 @ 1:15 pm · Filed under Philippines Internet Koi Society

3-4 drops per gallon. You would not be changing the water from the time the eggs and metylene blue is added. It is used the help prevent fungus affecting the eggs. Once the fry hatch in a few days, and you start doing regular water changes, you will be removing it from the water.
Some will argue that it is not necessary. Whatever works best for you.
