i read on a website that i should use maroxy to prevent fungus from attacking the betta eggs while they're in the bubble nest because of infertile ones. i currently have my male in the spawning tank and i was wondering whether or not i should really add the maroxy? if so, should i take him out?
Use of maroxy for protecting betta eggs

startin out with CT's. pretty soon i'm gonna start trying to order online. as of now, i just wanna get down the actual breeding process. i messed up badly last time and lost both potential parents. this time i feel i'm more prepared to handle this. any tips you could offer?
the first pair i spawned were CT's and they stayed together for about 2 days after she came out of the hurricane lanturn and when they finaly spawned i had about 150 babies and only 8 are alive.here are the female i plan on spawing,the male isnt being very camera friendly atm so ill get a pic of him tomorrow.
i have played with various meds/chemicals to stop the "fungus" that happens. I stopped. No real change in wriggler numbers. Dead eggs develop fungus. rarely is it life eggs. Rapid calcification of the egg surface impedes fertilization. I found that lowering Total Dissolved solids was more effective than a chemical treatment at increasing yield.
