I can count at least seven... It's hard as they are so tiny and keep moving around.... Hopefully all will survive!

So far so good.... It seems they are all still alive :D
How long until I know it's safe to say they will survive? Or it's just a gamble?

They are all still alive, and getting bigger - easier to see, at least. I think they will all survive :D

Right?
Happy to report all doing great.
Momma #2 is still hanging on to her eggs, doesn't look like she has dropped any. This is exciting!

Good news! All the larvae are doing great!
I got back from a trip today, and since was late at night, I didn't have much time to look for momma #2. I will look tomorrow. In a few days we approach the 2 weeks mark for the Larvae, how exciting, I think I am going to take another picture with my macro lenses tomorrow to see if there is any difference in between a new born Larvae and a 2 week Larvae :D

ALL Larvae from momma #1 survived and are now little swimming babies, I just say Momma #2 - she looks really close to releasing her eggs (they are getting away from her body, just like momma #1 did)...... AND!!!! I have ANOTHER Barried female - momma # 3!!!! WHOA!!!! :smt026 :smt026 :smt026
I can't believe this is going on after all this tank has gone through!!!
