    If those dark patches are the eggs...they should be hatching within a day or two. If you take a flash light and shine at an angle at them you chould be able to see the eyes glow. Very nice fletch, takes very consistant husbandry! [smiley=thumbs_up1.gif]

    PS, they will be hatching under the cover of darkness. If you have moon lights and havent been using them....if you turn em one tonight they will most likely hatch.

    Thank You All for your kind words and all of your help, I just wish I had something to feed them if they manage to survive. :'(

    I feel so bad just letting them die :'(

    Yes I do have moon lights and they are on every night I will be checking them out tonight to see if they hatch ;)

    Do you think if they hatch they will be able to hide in the colt coral? or do you think the coral will use them for food? :-/............................ John

    They will be at the mercy of even very weak currents for a while......your best bet would be to catch as many as possible put em in a breeder net, and if your LFS cariies first bites....you could raise afew with determination.

    Do you think that Frozen Cyclopeeze would be small enough for them to eat? :-/ That is if after they hatch I am able to catch them :-/
