So i havent had much time to get on MFK cuz ive been busy with school. but anyways. i come home from school today to find that my male RD bred with my female blood parrot and they have alotta eggs! im not sure wut i should do? is there any chance that the eggs could hatch? and how do u tell if they are fertile? cuz my severums have bred b4 and their eggs were always an amber color. these eggs are a yellowish white color? so idk if they are infertile or not at the moment they laid them a few hours ago. and if they are fertile should i pull the eggs out into a 10g to hatch em or leave it up to the parents? heres some pics to help. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks!

hard to tell if they are fertile. you should be able to tell in another day or two. if still unsure just wait another couple days. by then they should hatch. if not then fungus should start to grow on them within a couple days.

Ok. Its been a day and they haven't really changed.....just slightly darker in color but not much. Thats why idk if theyre fertile or not. Well there isn't any fungus yet so thats a plus. thanks for you input. hoping theyre gonna hatch. we'll c.
 
All signs show that the female is indeed fertile. I cant wait to see the end result of these fry. Should be a few good keepers. Watch closely, and if you see any signs of a fish eating the eggs, seperate that fish from the eggs with a divider or if its bad, put the eggs into a small tank with a slow bubbling airstone. Methleyne Blue probably isnt needed this far into the egg stage.
