Apisto laying eggs

I got some Tetra micor-crab cyclopeez stuff...I also read that egg yolk is good for the fry...not sure if or when I will get to try to feed them.
Tomorrow at 9am will be a min of 72 hours since I noticed them.
If I do see them free swimming do I give them food or let them eat from the moss?
 
if there is infusoria in it they will eat that but its not bad to feed them some of the cyclopeez but the egg yolk thing never tried that read it will foul the water REALY EASY so if you use it be very sparing a lil at a time as much as they will eat in 3 min with the youlk and cyclopeez id feed a lil and watch then feed some more and watch so on and so forth.
 
It's been 5 full days since I noticed the wigglers...
I haven't seen much movenment at all. I picked up the rock/cave to see if I could see anything. I saw lots of pairs of eyes...I still don't see movement. Mama went after all the babies and put them back where she wanted them.
I guess my question is would she still does this if there are no survivors?
After 5 days shouldn't they be free swimming by now?
 
I didn't notice any, I could have sworn one fell out and fell back into the cave.

After I picked up the rock mama moved them from where they were into a flower pot.
 
She moved them back to the cave from the flower pot sometime last night.
The cave is about 1" in diameter and with her being in there everytime I go near the tank I can't tell if it's the movement of her fins making them move or if they are moving.
Haven't seen anything outside the cave.
 
when they get to the point of being free swimming they shouldn't be in the cave mama will parade them around letting them look for food.

so how long has it been since they hatched?
