Tank empty 10g bare air stone small bunch of java moss.
PH 7.2 temp 82 two drops methel blue per gallon.

Now I have wigglers around 40
the next step is ? Small water change or add carbon to remove M.blue and get the cycled hydro sponge back in there.
Food ideas needed
I have never had egg fry before need help guys
They hatched SAT mourning still have not droped egg sacks
 
fry

best option for filtration would be a sponge filter, i would feed the fry liqy fry for egg layers this would be okay for the first few day but then i would feed them newly hatched brime shrimp if you are unable to do this crushed flake and pellets would do as long as it is crushed into mouth sized pieces good luck hope all goes well.

I have frozen BBS will make a flake food paste or feed marine microvert liquid.
The sponge is a super fine breeding filter.I pulled it out so the methyl blue dident kill off the benificial bacteria will re add after the blue is gone.
I guess the question I now have is how to carbon out the methyl blue and when to do so.
Should I change water now or later?

The sponge filter is a good idea, as some fry can take advantage and feed off it. The obtain the best survival rates with my African cichlids when I feed them Sera Cyclops from the moment they are free swimming. You mix a pinch in water and feed it using a long eye dropper.
