Thanks Duanes,
Last night I separated the site with eggs to a breeding box (that has fine net instead of plastic walls).
Unfortunately by that time there were only 15 eggs left to hatch, others has gone missing or gone white. I placed an air stone under the breeding box to have aeration.
This morning I found out that wrigglers had detached and fell to the bottom od the box.
Then I realised that I made a mistake by not putting any floor on the net box, and tiny wrigglers are small enough to fall through the net. (will fix that in the next batch.)
I found somewhat weird that wrigglers are 1-2 mm in size, I thought they were bigger.
Currently I can count around 5-6 wrigglers, jumping around the pot instide the breeding box.
Having net instead of plastic breeding box has advantages (in my opinion) since the water flow is constant and it is not fully separated from the rest of aquarium.
I will monitor the wrigglers conctantly and wait for any swimming activity to start feeding.
Dry food is all I have at my disposal for now. I have to hope that young meeki fry will survive on such weak foods in their first days. I have put various dry food (dried algae, multi-vitamin, flakes..) in to a electric grinder (used for salf and pepper), and set it to finest grind.
I will try to feed them this way, and let you all know how that went.
Pictures of my breeding box will be uploaded after work.
thanks again! BEST REGARDS
