Hello! This is my first expierence with eggs, i didnt plan to breed my them but they did it on thier own lol but I have a 125 gal tank and i noticed yesterday that my JDs spawned so i bought them a new 30gal and put them and thier eggs in there with water from the big tank. They are being great parents, the only problem i think im having is that there are a few eggs that have turned white and she hasnt removed them, is this going to be an issue? The rest of the eggs are fertilized and i can see a bit of black in them so they are still doing good, but i think the fungus might be spreading, what can i do to help them?

this is from lastnight

you can see that some of the eggs are white now and i think im paranoid but i feel like every time i look in the tank there are more eggs that are white

please help!
 
If she doesn't remove them, I'd do it myself, so that it doesn't spread :)
 
how do i remove them? and ps sorry for posting in this forum i didnt see the breeding one in my panic to post before all of my baby eggs die hahah
 
That's fantastic :) wow you have a lot of fry.I guess most should survive being they have their own tank.What are you thinking of doing with them?
