| I have found my spawning problem. The book says to use 0.2 milligram of Malachite Green per 1000l of water. That is 360 milligram for 1800 liters of water. As the scale is in grams, I had to convert the milligrams to grams. In converting to grams, I divided by 100 and not by 1000. I therefore added 3.6 grams of Malachite Green into the water in stead of 0.36 grams. That means I overdosed by 1000 times. No wonder nothing happened.
I am now going to clean out everything and start over again with my first spawning pair which a beautiful male and female Showa. The first time round she did not want to spawn. Maybe now a week later she is a bit more ready. Will keep you posted. |
