I was starting to wonder if the mail wasn't properly fertilizing the eggs because they ended up always molding over and we're gone by the end of the week they laid eggs again just two days ago and why we were out this evening they ended up hatching I can't believe it they've tried at least eight times so I divided that side of a tank off it's a 125 gallon and I'm waiting to get an extra large breeding tank because they laid them on a decorative rock I have in there. The mother and father are in there by themselves with the babies. So excited first hatch I've had in 19 years of having a tank!!!
