I put my sea monkeys in too early?

Well last night i put the water purifier in the tank then i waited for about 14 hours but by then i got a little bit impatient so i dumped the sea monkey eggs in. At first i didn’t see anything and i waited about 4 more hours and still see nothing except green stuff and the eggs. So, should i dump the water out and start anew or should i just wait for a few more days?

Angelfish laid eggs.?

My angelfish just laid eggs, for the first time in over a year. I had them for about a year and a half and they spawned in the summer. They spawned 3 times over a period of months… It has been another year and a half since the last spawn. I successfully got 4 angelfish fry to live for a while, moving them to a community tank. They lived for a few months, then one of the angelfish that was bigger I think picked on them. They all ended up dying somehow >< We moved houses actually since there last breed. Finally they bred again! Anyways, I got a bunch of eggs now. The eggs have hatched, I think, there are little bodies hanging from the filter tube now (thats where the eggs were laid). They just hatched a few hours ago, I think, this morning they were still eggs. Anyways, what should I do? Last time I moved them into a 5 gallon tank. Fed them fry food, and a little bit of baby brine shrimp (I could not produce that many quick enough to feed them.) So should I move them now?

African Cichlids?

I’m trying to get a tank of African Cichlids up and running for my husband. I have very little experience with fish, but have done a little bit of research. I have a 29 gallon tank with a heater (It’s 79 degrees). The ph of my water is about 8.2, and I have gravel, some artificial plants, and a lot of large rock for them to hide in. I had the tank up and running with no fish in it for about 3 weeks before I got the fish. Last week I got 11 small africans and put them in the tank after acclimating them, and they all died in the last 2 days. They didn’t appear to be ill, looked healthy, and were eating some flake food and brine shrimp. I’m going to take a water sample and a couple of the fish back to the pet shop to have them checked, but would like some input. My husband has had cichlids in the past (lost them in his divorce), and I’m trying to get a new tank up and running as a surprise for him. I’m getting pretty frustrated with it, though.
