    hatching days at water temperature 24 C >about 24 to 28 days

    hatching days at water temperature 25 C >about 21 to 23 days

    Eggs after the above mentioned period never hatch,probably the male is too young or unmature enough to cross.

    Oh I find this interesting. You mean a lower temperature will take a longer period to hatch.

    Yes presumably because metabolism is reduced when temperatures decreases.
