    Is that a good thing that they spawned on the filter or a bad thing

    Of course not, the cone is coming tomorrow. I put pvc in but apparantly that was not good enough.

    Beautiful parents, very nice looking clutch. Are you planning on leaving them on the sponge? I guess it won't hurt. Maybe the parents will move them to another surface once they become wigglers . . .

    Thank you! I will leave them, maybe when the cone gets here they will move them. I had a feeling they were going to use the sponge, they've been staring at it for several days now.

    Not a problem but if the air flow is too high, it can create issues. If anything, I'd turn the air flow rate down.
