The other cool thing is I just set up this breeder system a little over 4 weeks ago, and this is this first spawn in it!

Most of them were gone today, if they hatched that would be 5 days.

First spawns are usually not the best. Probably was eaten. Or maybe they hatched! Those eyes were pretty dark. In any case, they will spawn again.

Interesting that we are all 3 having the same issue. The eggs on mine are decreasing each day. Surely between 3 of us we can get a few to hatch! Keep up the good work.

Or I'm missing a spawning event, or your temperature is higher than mine, or yours are hatching at 5 days. Could be anything at this point. Im not even trying until after MACNA.
