Noticed something exciting with my African Butterfly Cichlid pair (Anomalochromis Thomasi) - they're guarding eggs on a stone. Anyone know how long it takes for them to hatch?

From what I've read, it's around 3-5 days for them to hatch. No personal experience with this specific breed, but that's the general consensus.

Eggs usually take 2-3 days to reach the wriggler stage, then another 3-4 days to become free swimming.
