Are you suppose to help break them out of their eggs after a certain time?

As the title says~ Are you suppose to help the late bloomers out? Had one that was still in his/her egg and figured they would pop out still moving around and all, went to do water change and he wasnt moving.. popped him out of the egg and put him in the fridge just in case. here is a picture of him the last ones are of the ones that did hatch ~Do they look ok? they eat and swim around some. ~ any thoughts on the late bloomer? Also this doesnt pertain to the eggs, but noticed in one of my tanks this weird stuff growing on the walls, any ideas what it is?? would it be good to feed my babies? Sorry for the overload on all the questions just wanted some feedback
Thanks for any comments!

I wouldn't have if I were you. Some individuals simply fail to hatch, and just like a spinning axolotl, the cause is probably genetic and the individual(s) should not reproduce. Doing so would only pass on the deleterious alleles, increasing the frequency of occurrence of these detrimental traits among offspring and polluting the gene pool in the meantime.

I can't see what's on your tank walls. The picture looks out of focus and the light seems nonexistant. :x Your axies look great though!

forgot to mention, when i popped him/her out they were not moving. Was hoping maybe the fridge would revive him... but very doubtful. Hate that he was doing good and growing so great in his lil egg. and now bam he just wont wiggle no more nothin. i know nature plays it course. was just wonderin if there is like a limited time in their eggs, maybe he ran out of air? idk lol. just hate losing one. hope the rest survive :smile:

Fridging is not advised for young larvae, at the colder temps it wont feed aswell. I personally dont bother to help babies out of eggs but I know plenty of people who do.
