@ wantsalotta its hard to tell because if they don't hatch then the parents would pick them off the tile anyways, I don't get to them till later in the night as I work full time and just do the clowns on the side after.

chitown tom I wonder if having all the breeding pairs in the same water may throw them off some times they don't lay at all sometimes they lay every couple weeks, one pair even laid a new batch of eggs right next to a batch that hadn't hatched yet and wasn't supposed to until the next day lol..
I think maybe all the hormones in the water may effect it, but I also think those same hormones are what help the pairs to want to lay as well
