My pair of blue rams are now laying their 2 batch of eggs (as I type). Half the fist pair dissapeared during the 2nd night, so I moved the rock they were on into a breeding net and added a bubbler. A dozen or so hatched the next day so I removed the bubbler (think no longer needed) and when I got home 5-6 hours later all wigglers dead, from not having bubbler my thought please correct me. I am wondering what to do?

Its a 14 gallon/2' community tank.
(BN, Cory's, 1 apisto reticulosa, guppies, khuli loach)

wonder if I should

A-lets parents try again, leave tank as is

B-let parents try again remove all othe fish from tank (stress issue)

C-remove rock (scoria) to breeding net and add bubbler,I dont have spare tank/heater to make hatchery/fry tank.

please help

Your tank is waaay over stocked and too small for rams to be in with all those fish in.
I recomend moving them to another tank, and since your rams are already breeding, leave them by themselves to breed peacefully.
And yes, the bubbler will help airate the eggs
