Miscellaneous Information:  Wasn't really expecting a batch of eggs with the low salinity.  I had lowered salinity to rid some pairs of ick.  Was doing a big water change and raising salinity a little higher.  Actually when cleaning the pairs tank I accidentally exposed the eggs to air as I had no clue these guys would be spawning in such a low salinity.  The exposure was 30 secs at most.  Not sure if this will effect them or not.  Time will tell I guess.
 
All eggs died from being exposed to air shortly after report.
