Egg fertilization?

[shaan21]

So I saw my BP trying to dig in my community tank so I moved them to another tank and they laid eggs yesterday
I know BP eggs aren't supposed to hatch but it's been 24 hours and the eggs look nice and healthy
I have no experience in this if someone's experienced in BP breeding can they help me out?

A lot of them do appear viable...time will tell...

With fish eggs bright white typically means not fertilized. Turning off white or tan means they are fertilized.
Looks like some didn't get fertilized. But a majority of them did. Now it's up to the parents to keep them clean. You can help by putting a air stone near the eggs to keep water movement over them as not to grow fungus.
New parents are not the best first batch or two, they are learning. My Amphilophus saggitae lost it's first batch of eggs due to fungus. Next five made it.
They list this batch. They couldn't keep the eggs free from fungus.

This is a batch that made it. The female was more diligent in fanning the eggs to keep them clean.
And the result a spawn that made it. Here the female is guarding fry/hearding them around the tank to graze on micro flora and fauna.

Can you post an update pic of the eggs and maybe a short vid of the parents tending them?
