One of my berried female RCS hitch-hiked on some Java Moss into a 10g tank that held one of my HMPK dragons.:eek3: You may be able to guess. He attacked her. Luckily, I was still there, and removed her before much damage was done. But she dropped two of her eggs. I sucked them up with an eye dropper, and put them in a plastic cup. I was studying them with a magnifying glass, when I noticed that they have eyes. I found the female again, and, as expected, all her eggs had eyes. So I know that they are very close to hatching. What should I do to keep the two eggs alive until they hatch? I thought I saw them moving, but I could be wrong. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Right now, I am keeping their water moving and warm (81*F). That's all I know to do. :help:

They PICKED OFF THE EGGS? Why would they do that? It killed the female?

I'm excited. I'll keep the water going and see what happens.

EDIT: Oh, oh, oh. Now I get it - the female died, THEN they picked off the eggs, right? LOL
