    Thanks all for the comments! I'm in the process of moving (as I think I mentioned before but I'm old and sleepy, so who knows :), so it will be a while before I update this thread - although once I take down the tank they are in, I'll have some better shots of the parents.

    Cheers

    So I didn't plan on trying to raise these guys since I'm moving soon, but here are a couple shots of the fry that hatched tonight. At least the tank will be well fed tomorrow.

    They are tiny - look for the rod with a bulb on the end - thats them.

    I don't know - but something tells me not too long. I've re-arranged the tank, taken out nest sites all at the same time - they might slow down for a day or two then they are back at it.

    I'm not sure what tank/if I'll take a tank with me, I might end up giving these guys away rather than risk em being sloshed around in buckets for the 25 hours in the car.
