whahooo darrellg! least you know with wigglers, they are a true pair!! (sometimes 2 females will spawn over and over but of course all eggs turn white)
if you dont want to give them a few more tries, as they are still new at this, you can have a tank preparred for the eggs or free swimmers....whichever stage you want to take them from the parents are up to you ..but in the growout tank, you want a small 5-10g that has prestine water conditions...a sponge filter, and plenty of airation..you also want it to be bare bottom with a temp of about 82...you will be doing partial daily changes to keep the tank prestine, so the bare bottom will help allot....put some extra filter floss into your established tank now so that in 2-3 weeks, you can remove it for your sponge filter to have it for an immediate cycled tank..or run your sponges from the sponge filter, in your established tank..either will work......if I were you, id wait until the eggs are free swimming, then grab your syphon hose that you do water change with, and take them from the tank and put them in their grow out tank...good luck!
