ok bro firepoal....update..few days ago got red ramshorns, next day found eggs inside the floating container..just now went to check, i see white lil spots in the eggs liao. One spot in each sac....but no hatchlings as yet.

Hmm.. A higher temp might help to hatch the egg faster.. may be you want to try transfer the eggs to a tub and place it under some light source?

U mean scrape the jelly blob out of the floating container and place them in a tub bro? Wont the movement and transferring destroy the eggs?

I dont think so, the jelly is meant to protect the eggs. Maybe for your 1st batch you dont try.. subsequent batches you might want to try, if it is safe, you can have a faster hatch rate.
