Mine laid about 50 eggs, half made it to wriggler/belly crawling, and now I only have 2 left that are larger free swimming that are about 2 or 2.5 weeks old (others have presumably been eaten...probably by the danios in the tank). The parents are showing signs of getting ready to breed again. They are letting the fry wander farther, and mom is back to her coconut cave starting to create her wall at the entrance. She still takes the fry to her cave at night, but up until today hadn't been building her wall.

Mine laid about 70 I think, I'm about 3 weeks in and there's probably about 30 left swimming about on their own.

Yes I've got at least 50+ fry swimming about in my tank at the moment, 2 days old.
