ok the eggs hatched early this morning, i woke up and checked them at 5.30am just before i went to work and i could see wrigglers.
some of the eggs fungused so i sucked out everything in the egg that was mouldy with a pipett and just left the shell so it didnt spread.
i had 10 eggs originally and iv got 6 wrigglers.
iv got some pics of my set up and babies so enjoy:

Congrats on the wigglers andrew, everything with the breeder looks quite allright to me, just add a little shelter for the wigglers, and remember keep it clean!
(use a clean new small paintbrush for the walls and bottom and afterwards syphon the breeder with an airtube, do this every day)
Good luck mate!

I was getting a little jealous reading this thread - but...
I've just swapped out a cave in our tank as our zebs didnt seem to be getting it on since I swapped the caves about.... the male came out and dived straight back into his old one....
As I lifted the cave up in the tank - out pops a clutch of eggs
They are still really light yellow/green so only just laied too
Spawn number 2!
(sorry I'll take this back to my thread )
