Re: She's ok now
If you still see eggs she has not molted yet. The eggs are all attached to the outside of the body and would not remain when she sheds her exoskeleton. She might have just decided to drop the fungused eggs for now. When she molts there should be nothing left of the fungus unless the fungus ate right through her exoskeleton into her tissue.bludusty wrote:I saw two eggs still visible high up in her body, but the cluster of them has dissapeared. She must have molted
Re: She's ok now
if that were the case wouldn't it be safer to sterilize the entire tank in case such a fungus was contagious and possible to be spread to othe tanks?Mustafa wrote:When she molts there should be nothing left of the fungus unless the fungus ate right through her exoskeleton into her tissue.
