Neocaridina shrimp with fungus on eggs

[TropicalNewbie444]

I have recently noticed a patch of white fluff on the eggs of one of my blue cherry shrimp. I am 90% sure it's a fungus and am wondering what to do. I am also in a bit of a rush because I'll be on holiday for the next 5 days away from home. The treatment, I believe, is methylene blue or JBL fungol or malachite green however I don't own any and am leaving tomorrow morning. One option is killing the shrimp (shrimp population is about 30) another is to leave it until I come back then treat it or I could try to quarantine the shrimp then treat it when I come back (although I would need to make a makeshift quarantine tank). Any responses helping me decide what to do would be brilliant.

Methylene blue will kill fungus but also adversely affects filter bacteria.

Salt (sodium chloride) is the safest thing for shrimp. Use 1-2 heaped tablespoons of rock salt (aquarium salt) for every 20 litres. Keep salt in tank for 2-4 weeks. The salt will not affect fish, plants, filters, etc
