Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Placing branches down for YP spawn

Generally the smaller ribbon that you hatch the more likely that it will not develop fungus that kills the developing embryos. A 2" section of ribbon will contain plenty of eggs for observation. As eggs develop do a water change every day or two with chlorine free house water (well water) conditioned to the same temperature as the current developing eggs. This helps minimize fungus for novices. If you see any all white eggs in the small ribbon section suck just those out with a turkey baster so the fungus does not spread as fast. Another way to do it is to allow the eggs to remain suspended in the pond for 4-6 days then clip off a small piece of ribbon and bring it inside to watch the final development and hatch of the fry. Remember to gently aerate the water with the eggs.
