Thanks, I've invested in a couple more grow out tanks, filters, and some methylene blue.

I put a 9 " round airstone in the main tank for them to lay there eggs on. That way if I decide to, I can hook a little air pump to keep good circulation around the eggs.

I will also be dosing methylene blue to keep the eggs from molding, as most did. I'm not sure on the dosage but I would like to just put the eggs in a bath 15 min or so and then return to hatching tank.

I may have to just treat the hatching tank itself if I can't get help with the dosage for a bath. I hate to kill the bb though. But I now have a tank to hatch eggs, and one to move fry into.

One main thing I think will help the fry is doing water changes daily. As I didn't really do any.

Had one BrokoMono survive from a previous spawn. Just took a pic. He's about 3".

Thanks gangster. Yes 2 or three more times. My pleco ate all the batches of eggs. I'm working on a solution.
