Need some expert eyes here.

Yesterday all these eggs were a tanish color, now half of them are white.

Are they fertilized?

Before - See how they are all one color

After - See how half are more white now?

The white one's def are NOT fertilized, hope some did but not looking good so far...
 
oh ok,

haha
I was under the impression that when they turn white, they are fertilized. If that was the case i would have been scratching my head at how the RD on the other side of the divider fertilized them for her.

So if they are fertilized, they stay darker?
 
If they end up all being dead, which i would expect, do they vacuume up easily with a siphon filter?
 
Yes they stay the tan color if they've been fertilized....
 
either the mom will eat them or yes you can vacuum them up with the gravel vac...
 
cool thanks for the info
