I'm hatching brine shrimp for them :-) They're wolfing them down,
though it's tedious to transfer brine shrimp from hatching pot to tank -
not yet worked out a better method than pipetting them out to avoid the
cyst cases being moved too.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I used egg yolk :-)

There's fewer babies as of today, I'm guessing the parents can't chase
all the other fish away all the time, but since this will help my
problem of how to offload them, I'm not *too* fussed.

If you get 20% survival you're doing real good. Commercial breeders get
around 50%.
I never did better than about 20% after literally hundreds of clutches.
