I only soak my seed for a hour at the most then drain them and let them sit in a covered bucket for 12 hours I rince twice once at 6 hrs and again before I put them in the trays. Over soaking can kill the seed embryo and they wont sprout, you should have more spouting then what you have in your...

Dirty warm water from a fish tank = moldy, smelly, slimy and bad growth in fodder. Clean cool water is the way to go.

Ya it was fuzzy white mold not alot but some, I took it apart to look closer. But I read that mold wont harm your chickens si I wasnt ti worried.
