How long does it take for red texas eggs to hatch?

[Dominator]

This time eggs are fertile, but they are just not hatching. Been 3 days i think, usually how long does it take in 74-76F? and 82-84F.
Can someone teach me to hatch them artificially?

takes 3 days, if the eggs are white, there dead..
to hatch them yourself, place the rock/plate upright against the side of your tank and put an airstone next to them..
add some meth blue or something to prevent fungus..

thx i will try that next time. Will parents go insane & never lay eggs again if i steal their babies.

 

[luohanfan]

lol, no, they will be fine, and in good conditions they will spawn again in 3 to 5 weeks..

make sure the air isn't touching the eggs.
