For a rough estimate I would say 3-5 days for wrigglers and another 3-5 days free swimming. So anywhere from 6-10 days should get you to free swimming.

I would not remove them from the pair as they are great parents. There is a chance they could eat them if this is their first time spawning, but don't worry if they do this is normal, it doesn't always happen but from time to time it does.

Good luck!
