oh no
in which water dish? With salt water or normal water? (in normal water they can't live very long)
the problem is: they hatch the eggs in the early morning (between 3 till 5 a.m) and the larvae come out of the eggs very fast .. If they won't be catched directly and put into a salt water tank with enough oxygen and stuff, they will die very fast. In a water dish is not enough oxygen for all of them.
Or do I understand it wrongly: there was a bubbler in the water dish where she has hatched the eggs?
My hermits hatch eggs since the salt water pool has been installed.
Temperature
Daytime 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
min 26°- max 28°C ( 78.8° F - 82.4° F)
Nighttime 9 p.m to 9 a.m.
min 21° - max 22°C (69.8° F - 71.6° F)
Light
Salt water pool from 8 a.m till 9 p.m. With 1 hour break.
Other daylight lamps are on from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Humidity
Day: between 70% and 82% (> because of the salt water pool)
Night: up to 87%
Depends on the temperature in my livingroom.
It seems to depend on the weather. When there is a high-pressure weather the chance to get eggs is very high. In Germany we don't have constant weather. Even in summertime we have to heat the tanks.
Some times it can be very hot im summer and in my livingroom (for example) the temperature can climb up to 30°C (86 ° F). But normally it is between 26° and 28° C ( 78.8° F - 98.4° F) in the tanks.
last winter (the successfull breeding were hatched in december) was a high-pressure weather, too. But not as appreciable as in summer. (Sorry can't explain it).
there are some people in our bulletin board who told me that their hermits are being the same way (same behavior) in this "high-pressure weather" time.
But this is only my theory!
unfortunately I can't tell you more about their reproducing behavior
