Eggs fertile or not?

[Andy02793]

Just noticed my gts laid eggs but I dont think they are fertile. Most of them appear white and very few are brownish.

I'm sorry hun, the pictures are not very clear. But if you want my opinion (NO) they don't look fertile.
Fertile eggs will be auburn/ gold in color & white if they're not. It's not very hard to verify this yourself. Just keep an eye on them & if you see them them turn a yellow/ gold in colour they're good.

I hope that helps

Thanks. So should I take out my plecos from their tank?

Brown u might still be ok. they should change color a bit what u dont want is gray grayish white or white. the parents should be removing the white eggs. if u can seperate the pleco i would personally

Alright... for starters.
1. What kind of eggs are these?
and
2. (YES) take the Plecos out if the eggs are not theirs & I have a feeling they're not. But if they are leave the eggs with them. (Sorry, just saw it's GT's eggs)

Another Option you have-
Once you have fertile eggs Gold/Yellow (NOT) White is taking the eggs out & hatching them yourself with methalyne blue in another tank.

Good Luck with your eggs

Thanks. I am removing my plecos cause last time i bred fish I took the eggs out from a breeding pair of cons and they ended up dying and the half that was left with the parents are alive and well.

Good news and bad news. Well you all know that I discovered the eggs yesterday, well today i didnt see any eggs and figuered the female ate them, then when i moved the decor during a w/c and i found a load of fry behind a rock so I stopped the w/c and just added new water to replace the water i took out. Last time i had fry it was from cons and they only made it to the free swimming stage and then my net ripped and they all died. So this time i wanted to breed my gts I gave them a whole 60 to themselves. My question is what do I do to keep the fry alive? I can go buy frozen brine shrimp or should i buy b.s eggs and hatch them if i hatch them how do I setup a hatchery?

Bad news is that I am not sure what to do.

frozen brine is too big, brine shrimp eggs would be best. Another alternative would be powdered egg yoke. I've had success with both..

How do you get powdered egg yolk?
