Yes I believe any or most anti fungals would be good. I usually use Maroxy by Mardel, but you probably don't have that in the UK. My ignorance of UK meds is why I generalized. If the eggs are not viable then even an antifungal won't keep them indefinantly. But it may give the good ones enough of an edge to make it. It is common for first spawns to have a low percentage of viable eggs. If you see them going bad do your best--maybe tweezers or a razor blade--to get the good ones separated.
