Oh Hell

Ok. I have 2 female kribs and one male. After the male made babies with Spot in a 2ft tank, I moved him out as he was trying to take over I put him in my 4ft community, where Stripe lives. He seemed disinterested, but lately they have been flirting IA few times I thought they might have tried to spawn but nothing came of it. Then, today - Stripe lives in a head - shaped ornament. I was watching her going in and out and then I notices through an eye hole that she was swimming up and down inside. All of a sudden, sunlight came through the window and illuminated the head. AND I SAW THEM - she was moving eggs to the gravel inside the head. AND THEY WERE WRIGGLERS. I barely have room to grow out the babies I already have PLUS - I am treating the 4ft tank for whitespot, added meds yesterday. so what I need to know is -
1 - will the white spot meds kill the babies?
2 - do they have much chance of survival in my community anyway, given the stocking (see signature)
3 - HOW CAN I MAKE MY OTHER BABIES GROW FASTER!!! I need more room!

I dont know much about kribs, but i would assume that the medication might not be great for the fry, but then again im sure the whitespot isnt either. Sorry i cant help more, wish the best for the little guys.

1. Most Likely not
2. Most likely not
3. Feed BBs every three hours and do daily w/c's. Plus have the temp at like 80-82. Other than that, pray.

Thanks! I'll do regular water changes for the older babies to try to get them to grow quicker! I also gave them bloodworm today, and all had a good go at eating it!
As for the new babies, they are just gonna have to take their chances in the community tank as I have nowhere safe to move them to. And I am gonna have to rehome my male krib - NO more babies now!
