The only problem I think you might have is that they are in a community tank. You have a very slim chance of them surviving. It would be best if you could put the pair in a tank of there own. BBS normally take 24+- hrs to hatch depending on the temp of the water for them. Ours are in a heated fish room at around 83 so they seem to hatch earlier. Take the aeration out of the tube and let it settle for about 3-4 minutes. You will see little things swimming and the unhatched eggs at the bottom of your container. lol......sea monkeys! Try putting your pair in a tank by them selfs and see what you can do!

ps......you never mentioned what strain this is. :D

Another thing you need to do is place you pair in a bb tank by themselves. If your eggs get into your rocks you may never see them. If your wigglers survived it takes about 5 days after being laid that they become free swimming. I would try to raise them in a community tank you won't be able to keep babies alive.
