Hi everyone, I'm looking for information on raising minnow eggs (redside dace). I'll be using in vitro fertilization to fertilize them (for research purposes) and then need to raise them and the larvae. Any information on how to treat the eggs to prevent fungal infections, how often to change the water, etc... would be great.

Here's a picture of the redside dace, which is actually endangered here in Canada.
Thanks a lot!

How many eggs / embryos will be reared per batch / experimental unit? Can you readily detect dud eggs?
