It depends on tank temps but 3-5 days is usual.
You will need some Baby Brine shrimp either frozen or fresh that will help them survive.
If these are the deep red color morph your LFS will probably be interested in trades. A small 5g eclipse is excellent for rearing/feeding fry.

Your rubberlip pleco may snack on the fry at night-time, since they prefer the night-shift where as your jewels prefer the day...unless you're after population control?
