Well they hold the eggs about 21 days or so. The hatch in about 15-18 and then the papa holds them a little longer and releases them. They are big enough for BBS when they are released. He does not eat during this time. That is why feed high protien foods is very important for them.
On a sad note, he spit about 10-15 eggs yesterday...today I couldn't tell if he spit the rest or not. Will check tomorrow.
As I said it is their FIRST ever clutch so I can forgive him. He still did not eat tonight, so he may still have some in there.
