Water changes during egg and wiggler stage?

[Yom]

Looking for some feedback and opinions on whether to do water changes during the 5-6 days that eggs are hatching and before wigglers become free swimmers or to hold off. Concern is the delicate nature of the eggs and wigglers and any minute difference in the water change characteristics. Fully agree and understand the need to do massive water changes once you start feed baby brine.

Thoughts?

You may hear from John N who says he continues to change water just as usual. I've been trying to follow that advice myself, and do change water while there are eggs on the cone. The brief period of time they are uncovered does not seem to hurt them. With wigglers, I change as much as I can without uncovering them. The parents are usually pretty aggressive during this. Once they're off the cone, the parents herd and corral them and I can do a pretty complete water change. As always, careful to get consistent temp, but I start raising the hardness right away by mixing in more of my well water.

My water change schedule does not change, with the possible exception of free swimming day. I may do less amount change at a time, as I do not uncover eggs or wigglers.

We continue with our water change schedule except for the first day of free-swimming. Then we just wait (usually 24 hours) until we're sure the fry have attached, then it's business as usual.

My water change schedule doesn't change with eggs or wigglers.
