cant seem to get pass the 8th day. I have the fry in a 3 gallon tank, air, rotifers everything is going ok , a few die off at start so i suck them out with a airline. on the 3rd day i do a 1 gallon waterchange sucking out the dead add a gallon of water sal at 1.023 temp at 80 and add somemore roty's, everythings ok for a couple hours then i notice a few more dead so i take a airline and get them out and everything goes ok for 2-3 days again then i do another 1 gallon waterchange and the same thing as i mentioned above starts all over again till there all dead. My main tank has a little nitrates . could the 1-3 day fresh made water be giving me trouble
 
I think most people do water changes with main tank water for the first few weeks then start combining it with fresh mixed.
 
I will give it a go with tank water next time. now if i can keep my rotifers a live till then. my phyto is turning to a green dust down on the bottom and maybe i can figure out how to get the rotifers out of the water i change. any tips
 
sure, old pic but this is them
