Romove half of the RO water and put tap water in it's place. RO water isn't good at all for fry. There needs to be some hardness to the water for essential processes to take place. Rams don't need soft water to breed and hatch. My pairs spawn with high fertility in a pH of 7.8-8.0 and a GH of 300+ ppm. Hatching wigglers out is no problem for me.
Also make sure the airline is providing a strong enough flow so that the surface of the water barely rolls and add a capful of hyrdogen peroxide every 12 hours to control bacteria.
