Day 3

The eggs are now three days old and the inner jelly covering is more obvious now. It is a small round clear jelly covering. It looks like a contact lens covering an eye. This inner coating protects the eggs and where the larve will form. The outer jelly coating which looks like a marble is still much thicker/stronger than it was and getting a bit darker in color.

Day 4

This is day forur of the eggs and you can clearly see the change in the eggs, some look like a builders bum where you can see the crack where the egg is splitting and some eggs are turning into the shape of a bean they are no longer round.

Day 7

The eggs are now a week old and doing well, at least 90% of them are now in the shape of small beans now, but a few still are slow in developing. On the bottom picture you can make out thye gills forming on a few of them.

Day 9

There has not really been much change since yesterday, some have fully uncurled now. The most change is that they have started jerking about with sudden movements within their egg sack.

Re: Follow the eggs - (2nd Batch)

i have a male wildtype and a leucistic female bout 9 months old the females bellys huge off eggs but he just wont mate with her well lay his sperm on the sand i can wait for mine to breed ive got loads of family and friends who want some and my local pet shop

9 months old is way too young to consider letting the female breed. She should be at least 12, preferrably 18 months old. Trust me, it's for her own good.
