Day 7 on the berried girl, eggs still tucked in tight

Quick update from the 10 gallon. Berried orange is at day 7 and the eggs are still packed under her tail, she's been fanning them a lot. Keeping the lights and timer the same like you all said. Pic below of the tank tonight. Day 8 tomorrow, wish me luck.

riverina good sign, fanning means she's taking care of them. leave the tank alone tomorrow and don't feed heavy, just a light pinch.

riverina fingers crossed. i leave a bit of moss in with berried girls, they seem calmer when they can tuck in somewhere.

riverina day 8 is the scary one but she's looking good so far. if she holds, don't move her to a breeder box or anything, they usually do better left in the main tank.

thanks everyone, she's still fanning hard tonight. going to leave the tank totally alone tomorrow like shrimplord said and just look from across the room.
