I recently had some spawn in a community tank..and wondering what the chances are of any surviving, and what I might do to help if anything? Thanks.

Any..I guess the obvious would be to get a fry net today..duh.

They're small and require infusoria. It would be a challenge to make sure the fry get it and it just doesn't dissipate. But maybe someone here has direct experience with this.
