spawning shubunkin with sarasa, what steps to take to save max eggs/fry

[Usman]

Hi , one of my shubunkin is spawning , i can see eggs falling from splashes , ihave seprated one pair.

I had spawning few times in past, 1st time ihad 30 frys but after that the rate of hatching was very less and survival of fry was almost zero , what should i do to have some fry this time?

Its narrow portion of pond so i cant use melafix for fungus but water flows thru it.

The eggs and fry need a lot of fine plant material to hide in. Aracharnis, hornwort, parrots feather, grasses. etc.

The fish eat them as quick as they lay them if there is no hiding spots.

Thnx, Ok i did add some leaves and there were plant roots , i removed both from tht partition after they stoped chasing ,it must b fertilized by male? Do i need to treat them for fungus ?

I never remove eggs, so not the best to answer as far as fungus. The male fertilizes as she lays them.
