For anyone just starting out and wondering what eggs will look like(that was me a couple of months ago!) here are the latest angel eggs on the leaf of an amazon sword plant. I have sad news to report though. I did something stupid in my greenness and gave my last batch of angel babies rainwater at a recent change of water. Although it would have been great water for an angelfish the change seemed too much for them and all but two died. Don't do what I did!  |

There are a couple of them hatched at least. They're in bubbles. I didn't notice til you said that. I see one egg unhatched too. And a lot I just can't tell for all the bubbles and my old crappy eyes.

What happens? Do the eggs hatch at all? Do they fungus? Do they get eaten?

Tina,
The answer to your question, is Yes, yes and yes.
Now lets try to work this out.
What I would do is get a 15 or 20 gallon tank, with nothing in it (No grave, plants, etc but a heater, sponge filter and a piece of slate for a spawning place (lean it on the side of the tank in an up right position). Put the pair in that tank and let them spawn. When they start to spawn make sure that you have a true pair(male and female). The reason I say this is because I have had two females spawn. If they are not a pair separate them. After they spawn take some water from the tank add some meth blue heater and air stone to lets say a 1gallon tank until they hatch. after they start to swim move them to a bigger tank and start feeding. This is the method I used.

And it works. The one thing I wasn't getting even after getting the methylene blue tip going, is keeping the temp up increases the viability of the wigglers. I now keep them at 80 and have a tankfull of swimming specks

If they turn white they are not going to hatch. If they're clear looking after the others turn white they're fertile and set to hatch. Always some will be infertile or duds in some way.

One more thing. When you move your eggs, hold a container underwater that will fit what they've laid them on if you can. Stick the entire thing in that and move it to what you're going to hatch them in, trying not to expose the eggs to just air and not water. If you can't do this, move them as quickly as possible. Seconds count. They need to be underwater.
