Jack Dempsey cichlid eggs

Question
How long does it take for Jack Dempsey eggs to hatch?Also, They were just laid and they are a greyish color, is that okay?

Answer
Hi Joey;

The eggs usually hatch in about 3 days. The new eggs are usually kind of a greenish color, if I remember correctly. It's hard to tell in photos online so that may not help either. Here is a link to an interesting web page with pictures and video of a pair of Jack Dempsey's eggs and babies;
