Videos and photos are pretty tough in a BRT. Since the number of eggs left were pretty low on this and a B&W nest, I hatched them in the same tank. Video 1 Video 2 Photos

Since these guys were co cultured with Darwins, the jury is still out how many of each I got... but not a whole lot of either. Video:

Here's some current photos. I think I may have more B&Ws than Ocellaris... and 2 True Percs made it too. This GO tank has all 3! Miles
