African Cichlid Eggs Fertile or Not?

It’s been awhile since I’ve tried stripping eggs and placing them in a tumbler lol so was just curious if they’re fertilized or if I should toss them.

I hope so haha we gave up the last few times last year because the eggs would always grow fungus on them and rot..

The bad ones will turn white in the next day or two if they are not fertile, even if they are tumbled. Pull out the bad ones, if you want fry from the good ones.

They hatched, We lost about 6 eggs that weren’t hatching and about 4 hatchlings when we switched them to the grow out tank. We still have a lot probably around 20 babies. Below is a video I just recorded so hopefully you can see them.
