My wigglers were in the same place they hatched.

Those marbles are NICE. Thanks!

I set up another 55gal with a divider and moved the breeding pairs out of the community tank. I'm sure the community is happy of that!
The golds have eaten all 4 of their batches so I may remove their next one.
The marbles haven't laid since I took some of their wigglers that were falling but I think they will be again soon. I made some "egg slates" with lips at the bottom to catch any wigglers that may fall.
The 12 wigglers I got from the marbles before it was too late all became free swimmers. However 2 were deformed and could only spin in circles so couldn't eat and 4 others never did eat so I have 6 left that seem to be doing very well and have been free swimmers for about 2 1/2 weeks.
I am trying to wean them from microworms. I have looked online and what I find says to grind flakes to a fine powder and feed. I think some are eating but some aren't so I'm not sure what to do there... Any suggestions?

Urgent help needed!
OK, so I need somemore help here. I was down to 6 little angelfish fry and 1 by 1 their dieing off! They all seemed fine, eating and swimming then one seemed to stop eating and laying around at the bottom of the container. When I would feed, it seemed he would be trying to eat but I don't know and would kind of dart around a bit or seem to try to swim pressing it's head against the bottom. When one would get so weak and die I would pull it out and a day or two later another would start doing it, I'm down to 4 now and it looks like I'm fixing to lose another. Water paramiters are fine, I do pwc of 50% twice a day and feed microworms, ground flakes and frozen baby brine shrimp 2x daily, 3x when possible. Any help? PLEASE!
