My LFS told me you have to wait until the eggs turn a gray color then that night when the lights go out you have to sit there and watch until they hatch, while they hatch you have to syphon them out with airline tubing into your fry tank. You have to feed the fry live rotifiers for a week and a half then live brine shrimp for a few weeks. Both foods have to be bread in different tanks. They told me this after i had my pair in my tank...lol
