clear eggs what do they mean
- Thread starter Dial92
- Start date
Just curious... What type of fish are you reffering to? The only clear/white eggs I have encountered were those that were infertile/not fertilized and they came from a hybrid not a pure breed.
My jag texas hybrid but it's day two and only a few are white

Lots of fish have clear eggs - many killiefish, tetras, koi, etc. have clear eggs. Eggs that turn white are usually infertile.
if its only a few that means those eggs have not been fertilized. If they are white it means they have fungised over. The fungis might spread to other eggs.
I know what white eggs mean but there are still different color eggs

hello; As stated by others some fertile fish eggs are clear and this is normal. I have induced zebra danioes to spawn in biology classrooms. for the first few days the eggs could be siphoned up and placed in dished microscope slide glass. The students could observe with a low power stereo scope the stages of development because the eggs were clear. We could for a few days after hatching siphon up the fry and see the organs thru the transparent skin. After a while the skin began to develope pigmentation and the fry were too lerge to be safely sucked into a small tube. If viewed briefly the eggs and fry could be returned the the tank and then were allowed to mature.
Might try that probably alot easier than looking at chlamy flagellum

Oh ok. I don't have experience with those... I was thinking you were reffering to cichlids. Well Dial92... Keep us updated with what you find out through the scope.
