Fry Fry Fry why do they die

My egg's are put into a large (Sweet Relish) jar the biggest Jar that I
could find, and then the Jar is put into a Larger Heated tank (82) with an
air stone (low flow).

Question: What medicines are used in which amounts to reduce fungus?

Question: What is the best way to change the water. Do you put something on
the end of the hose so that you don't suck up the fry?

I used to remove the parents to a new tank and not the fry, if its a
community tank then your pushing your luck. Feeding the fry, well I used a
liquid fry feed for a long time until they grew bigger, then feed them on
flake food that was put in a blender and turned into dust.

Feeding amounts for the liquid in a 2 foot tank was 2 drops, 3 times a day.
Then the dry food was a pinch using tweezers 3 times a day. Every 2 days I
removed 25% of the water and swapped it over with the water from another
tank I had. This way the water didn't need to be bombarded with chemicals to
tidy it up. And the other tanks filters did the cleanup.

Filtration in the fry tank was a normal aquaclear mini with a sponge fitted
to the input pipe so no fry would get sucked up.

Syphoning was done using an air line tube with a hard tube on the end, this
way I could control the placment a lot easier then a bent and flexable hose,
then that water goes into a bucket, at the same time I remove 1 bucket of
water from my other tank, then do the swap. By putting the water from the 2
foot tank into the bucket I could capture any fry that were adventurous
enough to get close to the airline tube.

Also have a go at hatching brine shrimp, when these guys first hatch they
are good tucker for the fry.

She if that helps you any.

Methylene Blue.

It's tricky when the detritus is the same size as the fry. I avoid
vacuuming for when the fry are in the way.

Put a sponge Filter inside the jar as soon as fry are free swimming
or sooner!!!!!!!
When fry free swimming feed newly hatched BBS.

Use a nylon stocking over the end of your tube.
