Severum fry / wigglers

[kansei]

After several spawns with my Green Severums I finally have 3 week fry and a second hatch of wigglers today . I have to remove the eggs and hatch them separately from the parents in a community tank . My main concern is the low hatch rate - first spawn about a dozen wigglers from approx 100 eggs ( 9 fry @3 weeks ) and the spawn this week I see about 20 wigglers hatched today from approx same # of eggs .

Do you dose methylene blue in the tank to avoid fungal growths?

Yes 2 drops / quart . Still get fungus . Also have air stone flowing around rock with eggs and try to remove dead eggs .

Up the concentration next time. I usually dose 1 tsp per 10 gal.
