08/18: To the best that I can tell....mama laid 52 eggs total this go around. Unfortunatly, papa missed two and thus not viable (turned white). So the count stays at 50.
Did a 10% wc ahead of expected hatching to begin sometime tomorrow. Went ahead and dropped in additional food as well and added zucchini nummy nums.

08/19: Let the hatching begin! The invasion of the wiggle waggles. 
As anticipated, the new babies started hatching. I came and to best I can count, I found (18) fry. Unfortunately (for me that is), most of them are in the plants so no way I can get an accurate count. Which is ok with me. Focus now is on rearing which is of course the difficult part.
Few eggs remain and some are hatchings in progress. Those ones I did not count.
Going through the first batch of pics now. We'll see if any turn out.
