I'll have to dig out the extension tubes for my DSLR to try to get some better photos.

Ooooh. The first larva has made an appearance! Hopefully there will be a whole cloud of them soon.

Thats great news, congratulations!

Looks like one of the mamas dropped an egg. Probably the one bursting at the seams with eggs.

It is hard for young mamas!

Still there? Try to save it in a net or similar.

Nice pic

How interesting. This petrified wood is the popular mommy hangout. There are 6 berried girls hanging out.

This is so great I cant wait to see the 'swarm' of larvae in your tank when they are free swimming!

The second batch of babies is starting to appear. I think won't be long now for the swarm. The mamas seemed to get berried at about the same time.
