Another spawn...

This is my fifth spawn. The first 4 was not successful and I'm hoping that this is the time I will see some babies. :D
My current water premeter: Temp 86F, PH: 6.6 . Any suggestion please? Do I need to slow down the powerhead to adjust the current? Lower the temp? more frequent water change? Do you think water change will stress the dad? I remember that it happened one time. The dad kicked out the eggs as soon as I did partial water change.
I learned that combination use of black water abstract and spawn aid triggered this spawn.

What kind a product is spawn aid?
Sorry, never heard of it at this side of the big pond :)

Don't change anything on your waterparameters or setup at the moment and wait for the wigglers to do frequent small waterchanges (3x a week 10-15%)

Good luck with this spawn!

When I came home tonight, I found two eggs being kicked out. This happened previous 4 times. I don't why the dady keeps doing that. I collected them and put them into a breeder case as I did before. Let's see what happens this time. The dady is still in his cave. I'm suppose there is still some eggs in the cave. Let's pray...
