They are in a small bowl, about a gallon in size and are doing great. they spend all day laning the java moss carpet and hiding amoung the rocks. very nice to watch. the najas grass is also taking advantage of the kitty litter and shooting out roots like mad.

Geoff - glad to hear they are doing well. The eggs should be an opaque yellow color and the femail will carry them for 20-30 days before they hatch. I've found incubation periods to be shorter in higher temps (80F) but I recommend you keep the temp around 76-78F.
Najas will grow VERY quickly. I've had to throw away large batches in the past since it seems to double in volume in my 46g tank every 2 weeks.
