Cool....remember it may take them several trys to get it right...but if they do fine the first time, you've struck gold...

So far so good I've got wigglers, they haven't done a real good job at cleaning up white eggs (unfertilized) which has caused more fungus than normal. They haven't moved them yet but hoping they will. If not this time I'm sure they will do better next time. ;D

No they have been free swimming for a couple days so I'm pretty sure they are gone but time will tell

Sorry to hear that maybe they will do better next time.

I'm sure I will find out in the next couple weeks. They usually lady about every 10 days

It sounds like they're close to raising them. Most pairs take several trys ,or so, to get it down. I'd try to give the tank some extra attention and keep it pristine, if possible. Feed a good variety of foods to build up their protein levels. It helps a lot to 'crack the ice'.....victory is within your sight...
