Wriggles are dieing everyday

[kelvintanpk]

Hi, I need some advice:

This is the first time my parent of cobalt blue and diamond blue have
succesfully spawn with wriggles. Estimate about 200 eggs on the
PVC pipe and about 100 are hatched. Today the fourth days after the
eggs were hatched, Wriggles are seemed falling to the tank base and
parent had tried to pick the wriggles and blew them back to the
spawning site but the wriggles could not seem to stick and fell to the
bottom again and the parent ignored those fallen wriggles. I could
see many dead and live wriggles on the base, what can i do now?
About 20 wriggles still attached to the pipe with many infertile
eggs, I am worried about their future....

Check the Ph. Bring it up with warm tap water if drop below 5.5. HTH
Jimmy.

Whats your temp? you don't want it to hot ,84 to 86's good.

Also if you have any power filters running turn them off if you have a cycled sponge filter in the tank. Wrigglers cannot stand the flow from a power filter, they will die from exhaustion of fighting the currents.

thanks for the response, I have spoken to the breeder, Mr Chai from
Chai Discus Farm in singapore. He suspected it could be my poor
water condition. I have to be careful the next time..

thanks again..
