Need some advice or help

Found a few more eggs in the spawning mop I put in yesterday !

Do they usually look green at any

So I am unable to purchase methylene blue in due to regulations apparently so I have to order off Amazon. Is there an alternative that I could use?

Only thing I can suggest is do small water changes remove waste . Keep water clean.

If you see any eggs look fuzzy remove asap. I recommend purchasing a small pipette or turkey baster for removal of eggs.

Yes it looks like eggs and due to the color, I expect your albino was female and it should be the one that spawn.

All the Polypterus species have brown to blakc egg color buy it can be brighter color such as bright green, brown or yellow if the female is albino specimen.

Fingers crossed for your success and please keep us updated!

Just added photos of the pair and you are correct my albino female is the one laying !

You can also use acriflavine or hydrogen peroxide

You don't really need metylen blue to care eggs since they do hatch pretty quickly (about 60~70 hours). Just keep water fresh and well circulated.
