Here is a pic of the male and the eggs.  Sorry for the bad quality. 
 
 

I will try and get a better pic of the pair.  Every time that I come with the camera, they go into hiding.

Below are best pics that I could get of the pair. 
 

 

Finally hatched last night.  Here is the video of the larvae  

Congrats on the spawn Mike.  I assume the reddish patch is the eggs in the first photo?  How are they doing at this point?

I ended up losing the first batch over Christmas since we were all out of town.  They have spawned again but I didn't raise this batch.  I will need to move this pair at some point since the original plan for this tank was to house butterflies.  I will put a tile in there in the meantime do get them to spawn on that.
