Hi i am not using UV on the eggs but have a tube in place for when they drop.

The eggs are forming really well, they are all squirming around and 90% now have both eyes. Im expecting them to drop by thursday so i have compleeted the tank by adding a heater and some oxygen weed, not only to help with oxygenation but also as they will eat on the leaves and the algee it produces. I have set the heater at 22 but its maintaining its self well at 24 so i am happy with that. Will do a partial water change in the morning ready for the tadpoles.

Here are todays set of pics....





The tank..

hi people here is todays update. i have lost a small percentage of 1 of the clutches due to the humidity dropping. the other 3 are doing ok so i just put it down to lesson learned. the remaining tads are all developing really well, the the bodys are forming well and they are constantly wriggling around. you can now seen the "vains" atched to the egg sack wich they will liove off for the first few days after they drop. This morning i done a 30% water change so all there is to do now is be patient, make sure the humidity does not drop again and wait....

The tadpoles have started to drop. they are about 3-5mm (hard to tell through the water) long and are sitting still on the bottom. They will remain there until the egg has been absorbed and then feeding will start.

i will try my best to get a picture in the morning once the uv is powered up.
