My large one Molted, and my Baby that I had left from the original four has molted 4 times. The large one is berried but it seems like sh4e's been berried forever and the smaller one has stopped attacking her food the way she was originally and is staying holed up in a tube a lot more. I'm assuming she's going to berry soon as she's just about 2"

How long do they stay berried before I'll see crawlers?

Also, FYI: Cardinal Tetras, and Glow Fish make a great clean up crew.

22-42 days is the berried length time.

This is the BEST website for info..

Well, the babies dropped. I seen them crawling all arund mom this AM before work. But can only find 4 right now. I don't think the Single GloFish or Cardinals are able to bother them. As the ones I was able to spot are crawling all over the sponge filter and the fish are swimming right around them.

I am hoping they disapeared into the crevices between the gravel.

Oh, they hide in the gravel like crazy!!!!
 
Yeah it's Pea Gravel. so I figured they were in their. I wanted to gravel vac that tank tonight to, I figured i had some time before the babies dropped but their in their now.
 
yeah.. i have a 20 gallon high, and i can't do anything with it because of them..

I can barely do water changes. but they are pretty big already.

I was contemplating doing the vac through a Filter sock, into a bucket. then looking through the filter sock.

Oh yuck!

I'm sure that this stems from when I was a kid, and had to go "fishing" for these:
