Whey-hey!!! Fantastic News INXS. Nothing like getting a wee stipey surprise!!!! No sign of a yolk sack at all, so I would say probably been hatched for around 10 - 14 days.

If they are running about the tank, just make sue you keep the substarte clean, and water well aereated.

Have you any idea if there are any more? If there is any part of the males cave elevated off the ground have a wee look under it with the "Torch". :wink:

If you have seen 2 out in the open, then there could well be a couple more, they a excellent wee beggers at hiding.

Congrats again mate!!

Just in time to be added to the new "Spawn List" if you want. :wink:

Thanks Rob,
you have no idea how great it was - after waiting, and waiting, and so on ......
There were two babies of the same size and an egg with a little wigglie - probably a new spawn.

Now several days later I don t'see any and even though I ripped the tank apart I didn't find any - any at all , until I put it all back again. Then there was a little one out in the open again.

Update - today I have a couple in a cave, maybe they are really digging getting shaggy .
