Mold/fungus on eggs

[JWERNER]

Is there anything I can do for eggs that have just begun to develop fungus or mold?

Today is the day I noticed change inside which is a bummer cause that obviously indicates something was good inside.

This is taken right from the article Raising newts from eggs in Caudata Cultures.

"Some eggs will be duds. You can identify these because they become whitish/opaque and may get fuzzy. These should be removed and thrown away as soon as you see them, as it is risky to have fungus growing right next to good eggs."

Even if there was something you could do, the sign of mold/fungus indicates that something is wrong or the egg isn't developing at all. So the larvae would not survive even if it did hatch. When I have had mold on a couple of my eggs, I cut my losses and threw them out right away because the fungus can start growing on good eggs.

Thanks, I was reading that but as I said I can see that the eggs are starting to develop so I assumed it was for other reason which I of course have no clue of what those could be.

The water is very clean and free from debris and circulation inside the container they are in shouldn't be a problem either. It does appear to have good circulation inside the container and I also drain it while submerged in the tank and add some fresh tank water back in.


I will get rid of the fuzzy eggs ASAP but I am now wondering what could be doing this since as I said I keep the water clear. I am wondering if they have been touching parts of the container would the contact create the fuzzy mold? It is a pain cause the plant clippings they are on do float.
