Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I've been in contact with my college Bio professor who is going to help me get started with the brine shrimp hatchery. This morning, at 6a, there was only ~6 white eggs, now at 2p there are probably 30 white eggs. The parents are popping the white ones but don't mess with any that are still yellow. I'm going to get supplies today (a 10gal) and having my teacher order the stuff for the brine shrimp. The parents are still standing heavy guard near the eggs and for a juvenile pair, seem to be doing everything right. I'm planning on removing the eggs later this evening, after the heater gets the water up to a temp consistent with the tank the eggs are in now.
