Keep an eye on the white ones, make sure the fungus isnt spreading to the other eggs. If it does and the parents dont pick them off, you can use a fine point to get rid of them yourself.
i will have to do that if they dont do it? how would i go about doing it, they are so small. do i use a straw or a needle?
Well you don't need to do it if the eggs around dont turn white as well, only if it starts to spread. If you do decide to start removing them it really isn't easy and sometimes it isn't worth it if you don't have a convenient tool. The fungus usually can't spread fast enough to cover all the eggs before they hatch.
im starting to see more and more white ones. i guess i do have 2 females becuase both have the 2 blotches of black on the fin
