Congratulations on your spawn! The eggs look white though, which would mean they weren't fertilized. Might just be the picture though.

I can't really tell if they're fertilized or not. All but one are identical in color. They're all yellowish except for one which is "white out" white. I thought I had two females this whole time.

edit: the eggs look exactly like the color in the last pic
 
If they're the amber yellow color they're fertilized. Start handing out the cigars. :D If it will be white its bright white.
 
ah, and just like that they're all gone.

I saw the female sneak over and eat a few before being chased away by the male who was guarding the eggs the entire time. Often times I also saw the male get completely vertical and ram his head into the rock 3-4 times. On the last ram he actually ate a few of the eggs. It looked like he was hitting the rock to see if any of the eggs moved. I wonder what that meant.
