Congrats and share some basic guidelines and hope not too late. Take out all the fishes in tank and house them away for a week. Do a 100% water change and off your canister filter...the eggs or fries if hatched will be sucked into canister filter.

Add some methylene blue...basic guideline light blue like the sky blue...this is to protect the eggs from fungus. Airstones....keep on high till tomorrow morning....this is to keep water fresh and once hatch try reduce air bubbles to low...in our normal room temperature the eggs should hatch in 2.5 to 3 days.

Once hatched you got to cultivate brine shrimp to start feeding them when fries start free swimming...fries start free swiiming after 24 hours. If you are staying up north..I can spare you some already decapped brine shrimp eggs and teach you how to hatch them.

After one week, the fries can be moved to another basin and the adult fishes move back to tank.

Hope this help and good to see you introduce your kids to some fish breeding activities...enjoy!!

Hi thanks for the guidance, Off my canister filter, air stones kept at high as you instructed. ive bought a bottle of methylene and added them accordingly to skyblue.. i have brine shrimp eggs in my freezer(used to breed bettas) Thanks for the offer.
Some transparent eggs have a black string inside it. while some eggs turned from transparent to white. Lets see if tmr or the day after will it hatch..

Transparent eggs developing into fries. White one will not hatch.

Congrats and yes it is exciting....I still get excited with every new spawn.
Please lower the airstones to just bubbling without creating much current.

Start hatching just a small amout of bbs as the fried don't really need much.

I have tried crushed pellets before, but the growth rate is much slower than feeding BBS. Since you have BBS already, I guess this is the good chance to use up your BBS
