Thanks Wendi! I've read it's just 2 wks but I found the first 4 fry atleast 6 wks after the mom and dad were gone, so I'm not sure. They were pretty easy to find..I mean they shot right out when I was gravel vac'ing so I really don't think they had been in there long, and then the next 2 I found are still much smaller, they must've hatched later. I know now that the gardneris sprinkle their eggs all over the substrate so I imagine I would have had alot more babies had I not vac'd the gravel so thoroughly every week! Which means in their new tank, where I do want them to breed, I won't be using a gravel vac. That's going to be..interesting...
