Morning Becca
Whenu have time, update your profile so that we can see what area u live in. It is helpful when trying to make decisions that might help you with a problem.
As far as tank size, the larger the better. It will also have to do with the amount of eggs that were laid. Was this a planned spawning or do u have a small batch of eggs attached to some plants?
I have found that water quality is paramount to hatching success. Frequent water changes is the key. When u remove the eggs, rinse them very gently before transfering them to a hatching area. This will remove any funk that may have settled on them in the tank. Make sure that there are no sudden water changes from tank to tank. A small airstone placed away from the eggs will help create a little water flow in tank. Hopefully in a few more days you will have a few babies stuck to everything that they can attach to....usually the side of the tank.
Hope this will help. Also, check back in old posting and u will find a ton of helpful hints re raising fry.
Good luck, Kiefer

yes and no. we were in process of getting set up to maybe try breeding our koi. they sort of thought that they would jump the gun. we had 5 different koi lay the eggs. and i sent hubby to get malachite green and woman at store told him he needed another product and he listened to her instead of me so needless to say we lost all the eggs from those 5. but the good news is we had 2 more that had not laid eggs yet and i went to get what was needed instead of sending him. right now they are looking good. i am in yulee, fl outside of jacksonville about 26 miles. thanks for answering.
