My ABN may have spawned?

[wolfbane]

Hi guys and gals! I have a male Albino BN under a shard of flowerpot fanning like crazy! How long til the eggs hatch? I want to peek in there, but don't want to upset him. This is the second spawn for this pair, the first spawn was infertile.

I just read on 2 different sites that the eggs hatch in about 10 days, but apparently the male can stay in a protect the wigglers for quite a while.  That's just what I've read...I've never bred them.

Peek in there, it wont hurt any. He may be fanning nothing. Sometimes they just 'fan' for no reason at all.

Congrats if they did spawn.

I peeked, several dozen light golden colored eggs in there. Time will tell if they got it right this time. Kinda kewl, I've never had BN spawn before!

Well, today the eggs were laying on the tank bottom, just the clear membranes, no embryos. Guess they are young yet, one day it will happen. Thanks for all the advice and wishes, maybe next month.

Oh...that's always disappointing...sorry to hear it.  And i was looking forward to hearing all about the babies.

Maybe next time!
