For what it's worth, I have never changed my routine in my tanks, with or
without eggs / fry. Lights go on at 7am off at 11am, than back on at 3pm and
off at 9pm (obviously on a timer).  Lights go off at 11 am because nobody is
home during the day and I want to enjoy my fish in the evening when I'm home
without keeping the lights on 14 hrs.  Never had any problems.
