until the fry are free swimming, ie they can move around on their own. you can then transfer them into a fry saver.

eggs are mostly orange/brown. if they turn pale they are dead and need to be removed.

Bro, if you've got questions, probs best try the "technical" section rather then the classifieds. (But +1 to what Tim said)

And get some Cherry shrimp and add one every time you tumble eggs, they eat the fungus, stopping some of the eggs dieing
