Update on the eggs.

They have hatched today (a few eggs are bad), the wriggles are now on the floor of the pot. They whould be able swim in a few days time.

The parent are closely guarding the pot, female will keep going into the pot to check on the wriggles.

Just checked this morning, the wriggles have moved out of the pot. They are gathering just outside the pot, with thier parent guarding them closely.

Will try to take pics soon, once they are free swimming.
