great pics steve,
love ya work, the microscopic world is absolutley amazing.
ive seen the rounds on the ends of the fungus with my eyes before but i never thought it was spore sacs about to break and unleash some terror. makes sense as fungus produce spores..
still if youve got 90% your doing pretty well.
i think that even with spores floating around looking for something to attack, or even the initial attack of fungus being present that healthy eggs in good water and temperatures can fend for themselves. i mean if you had bad water i reckon the fungus could now go rank but to me it seems that the good fertilised egg has its immune system in place for it. it may be that the fungus takes hold as the wall deteriorates.
i still wonder if i really saw fungus attacking a living fertilised egg.
i spose it could happen if something went wrong halfway though.

if youve got that many still holding shape it shows that the mere presence of fungus doesent mean theyre doomed.
a dead egg has to be consumed by something.. in sterile conditions it will just melt away to nothing ( well oils and ammonia and all those things leading to more hardships in small volumes) but im pretty sure that in unsterile conditions large percentage of fungus eggs means somethings wrong and not only the unfertilised eggs are the problem. then sometimes it would be a poor fert rate.
this is why its so hard to understand it all and decipher what actually went wrong, a big process of elimination to solve it.

i know it take ssome work but im sure we all like to see more pics. eyeopeners...

is dick around?? can you tell us how they will spawn theyre fish in japan.
is it high tech or reliant on nature and numbers and volumes?
