Quick question,

How long do Peckoltia l-number eggs take to hatch ? (mine are L377)

cause they breed for me a long time ago, and cant remember how it takes ?

cause its now the 6th day and i looked inside cave and they are still yellow but nothing really forming ?

cause my Hypancistrus take roughly 5 days and thought about 5 days or 6 but its past that now ...

once they have hatched it will be well over a week, maybe two before the babies come out (but do watch out for any wrigglers that get kicked out), then they come out a few at a time over 2 or 3 days, thebrave or hungriest first. when I think they are ready to come out I add baby food near the cave so he can fan it inside, this way they might get a bit of food before they come out so they are not so starving.
