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..
 
This is how I do it

make sure the air isn't touching the eggs.
is it better to use a sponge filter or air stone?
