Currently in 75 gal grow out tank. The bigger one laid eggs but the eggs turned white 2 days later. The first one is female and second male. They paired up idk if the male is infertile. Thanks in advance!

Looks like they have been injured, likely by each other.
 
Yeah they were a bit aggressive when they were laying eggs and fertilizing them (although they failed) lol
Time will tell if they are fertile! I hope they are!
For now, I would just keep the water clean and separate if the aggression gets really bad. These should heal on their own.

I hope so too! it would be great to have a bit of a passive income come from these guys from time to time! I think I'm going to get some bigger hang on back filters or a canister. I feel like the tank has been looking green after a few days after a water change smh
