Cubans eggs turned white

Does this mean they are fertilized or dead. They were a brownish color until this morning when I went to check on them.

Yes, siphon out the dead eggs. Sometimes it takes cichlids a few shots before the eggs remain fertilized and eventually turn into wrigglers and fry. Best of luck with the pair and hopefully next spawn turns out a better result.

Thanks Mike. I was expecting the cubans to spawn like convicts. Any tips on what maybe I should be doing different?
