WHat's their diet???????Try beefing up the temp to 82....Then feeding more feed such as cocktail shrimp and peices of prawn......

Are you sure their unfertile? What color are the eggs???


Infertile eggs are white and cloudy, 1 day old fertile eggs are orange
 
these eggs are one day old and they are a tannish color. some of them have turned completely white already. every batch of eggs she has laid before has done the same thing. they are tan at first then they all turn white and then die off. ive already bumped the temp up to about 81-82 degrees. their diet consists of mostly pellets.
 
ive never really fed them shrimp or prawns before. do i just feed them the same stuff we by from the grocery store? sounds like a newb question but ive been in the hobby for like 6 years now. just never fed them anything but actual fish food from the pet store.
