You have to look very, very closely to see the fry. They will hatch in about 2-3 days after the eggs are laid. The fry is only a little larger than the size of the bubbles in the nest - usually what you see first is the tails hanging down. Here's a photo (out of focus) that I found on the net: http://www.bettaforums.com/forum/files/bettafry2day1.jpg
