Hello just got 10 eggs for the kids to see them grow etc I have a small tank with a small filter with some fake plants
Was told buy the supplier to do a daily 100% water change using water stood for 48 hours and to use stress coat/ water cleaner, is this correct ?
When they hatch do I still do a 100% water change?
I'm getting some small daphnia to start feeding them once they hatch its that right?
Could any body give me the full A to Z run down of getting this right
Thanks in advance?

Lots of threads on this site....but from my own experience I would say :

Just keep the eggs in a small container ...don't need tank, plants, filters etc
As hatch day approaches get a baby brine shrimp hatchery going.....the daphnia are often too big for the tiny babies for the first few weeks
Once hatched and feeding as above twice daily water changes will be needed as water fouls quickly...so the less stuff in the set up the better...I started with a glass sundae dish
Just use dechlorinator for water....no other chemicals needed
Don't be alarmed if some don't make it.......natural selection and it's not always easy!
Good luck!
