Jonsey they are gorgeous. I love them. But why, oh why do they always pick the filter intake pipe

Sometimes I think we should throw away our spawning cones and just let them have lots of intake pipes. LOL

should be about 48 hours, you should be starting too see the wrigglers...

**Merrilyn** · Wed Apr 20, 2005, 11:13 AM

White eggs are not fertile, but it sounds like you are seeing some wrigglers amongst the infertile eggs. Just keep watching. It will be another 2 -3 days before they are free swimming.
