Here's a picture, it really is in the worst possible spot, top corner of the tank.

Actually top corner might be a good spot, easier to capture when they hatch if you're around to see it happen.

They hatched! I missed the actual hatching but went downstairs in time to see them swimming all over the tank. I managed to scoop up all the ones I could see with a flashlight and transfer them to the "nursery." My final design has them contained in a mesh breeder in the overflow where I can try spot feeding them. I did see two swim into my floating breeder near the eggs but they definitely didn't stay in there.
Here's a bad picture, you can't actually see them in it, but they are there lol. |

Well, update isn't very good.
I'm already on batch #2. Batch #1 didn't make it because of the flow in the overflow, and I think they spent all their energy swimming and didn't get enough food. This time around I used a acrylic floating hatchery in the main tank. There's virtually no flow to minimize their energy expenditure. I've fed rotifers and bbs and as of today, I have 1 survivor! Horrible survival rate I know, but I am actually happy to have 1 guy make it this far. If he makes it past day 7 I will be extremely happy. I am hoping to have a plankton/rotifer setup in the coming weeks, already have the 2L's and air pump. |

it is great that you want to go the extra level and raise the fry! I hope you get a 90%+ sucsess rate soon. good luck!
