I doubt the MTS will be a big problem for the ANN. The killies tend to lay eggs 
high up on plants (Water sprite is great for them). Best success I've had with 
that fish was to simply feed the tank till fry started showing up, then move 
the parents to another watersprite-laden tank.
 
For bottom-of-the tank spawners like gardneri, blue gularis, most other 
aphyosemions, the presence of the MTS means very little luck getting the fry to 
show up
