Also, keep the lighting as low as possible, if not off during the egg and wiggler stage as well as during the first couple of weeks after free swimming. This will help to avoid causing blindness with makes it more difficult for the fry to find food. If you watch the fry are they biting in hope of finding a nibble or are they watching the BBS and then eating? This will tell you if their eyesight is affected.
