| My peppies laid about 5 days ago, but the eggs still aren't showing any tails. They are all still bright orange and he's not stopped fanning since they were laid but i excepted some form of wriggler by now.

| Should be any time soon, if the eggs are fertile.

| Can they stay fertile and unhatched for a length of time? I assumed they all hatched around 3-4 days. | |

5-6 days is not unusual before they hatch. I imagine that if they were infertile they would have started going white by now. I don't know if you can see the eggs but if you can then you should be able to see if they have eyed up. In the picture below you can see the eyes of the fry still in the eggs. [img] [/img] | |
