i need a better tank divider, where can i find eggcrates? loews and home depot? what part of the store.. the people working there had no idea what i was talkin about.
IF the eggs are fertilized get them out now, I had a pair of jags that ended up eating their babies their first time spawning, I should have taken them out but then again I had no space for them so no big deal. about 30 or so hatched and slowly disappeared within the week.
well the batch of eggs dont look too good, some missing and a lot of them turned a white color and like fungus growin on it i think. guess they never got fertilized? hope its better next time.
out of the hundreds of eggs i have about 15-20 survivors 
.. what do i do!? how do i care for them? now theyre just lil squirmy things swimming in place on the gravel. my cousin told me something about using the yolk of a hard boiled egg and smooshing it up to feed the fry. what do i do?
thanks

Dunno what others think but i'd probably let the parents do their thing this time and probably the second time too and see how they go.... let them learn from their mistakes, may get better and better batches in the future.
