The RC breeders forum was moderated by one of the leading bangaii breeders and authors. If you are able to search this site you will find everything you need. I also learned everything I know from him (Frank Marini).
I also answered your questions in my previous post. The male may sacrifice himself, the odds of fry living with the parents in a small area even with a false urchin are slim.
As for phyto it doesn't really matter are baby brine do not ingest phytoplankton in their first few life stages. I fed rotifers enriched with Nanno and Tet to combat this issue, but frequent feedings of quality bbs will do just fine.
