I wish the photos were clearer, but they do show some interesting stages in their development.

Day 6
Gills elongating; pushing ventroposteriorly--they're really starting to look like miniature axolotls.

Thanks for all the encouragement!

Yeah, I teach, but hanging out around places like this really enforces the idea that everyone has a lot to learn. So many great resources around.

On my way out to work this morning I noticed the first one managed to hatch. I didn't have time to put any food in, but he should be fine for awhile--especially considering he wasn't out when I went to bed around 3:30 this morning

I hope the next set will show their eyes--it's amazing to see their eyes looking back at you through the wall of the egg. One thing my current camera is probably not going to be able to grab is a view of their three-chambered heart, which is especially apparent in the light colored embryos. You can even see the little heart beating.
 
I think they're the most amazing at this stage, because, like you said, you can see inside them. You can see the brain, the optic nerve, the liver, kidneys, the heart. It's definately VERY awesome.
