so i was informed that maybe my female may have a internal problem which is causing the frys to die off around the second day as wigglers. this is right before they become free swimming.

all eggs hatch and wigglers form. they move around the pvc pipe but on the second day, i see some just maybe swim like not even far from the pipe. maybe 1/8th of an inch away. then fall straight to the ground. the parents dont pick them up (i heard if the parents know the fry is weak, they wont care for it) and now cliff told me that my frys may have a adhesive gland development problem due to internal problem with female.

WHAT TO DO if it is true? ( i just want frys to be free swimming and eat off the parents)

If the parents are not in the best of health the fry most likely won't be either. You need to clinically asses the parents and determine if there is something wrong with them, once you know what it is then treatment, if appropriate, can commence. Otherwise it's shooting in the dark.
