They should hatch after 4-5 days. It may be another week or more before papa allows them out of the cave. I have one male who I think keeps them in the cave too long, so I oust him a week after they've hatched to allow them to eat. He is not happy when I do that, such a devoted papa!
Thats cool, papa doing his duty..
Still no sign cannot wait though, what size is ur female and how amny eggs do u think
On the ich front just 1 clown has ich,, no other fish showing even signs.
But looked in on my dwarf pandura and one of the three females has its mouth open all the time.. she tries to feed and now will acfcept blood worm but one in three only goes down any ideas Debbi

My females are about 3.5" not counting the long tails. First spawns are usually a little smaller than subsequent spawns. Maybe between 50-100. Subsequent spawns are usually 100+. Now that was my experience with the sp. Pucallpa bristlenose. My L144's have smaller batches than regular bristlenoses.
As far as your dwarf apisto, if she can't close her mouth, there's not much you can do. She injured herself somehow, possibly dislocating it. That could happen if she rammed into the glass. If it was a large fish, I'd tell you to take her out and manipulate the jaw back in, but that's not something that would be easy to do on a small fish. Feed her what she wants, as long as she takes some she'll be ok. Over the summer I babysat for a parrot fish that because of congenital deformity could not close her mouth. I don't know how she managed to ever get any pellets, but she could suck bloodworms out of the water like magic!
