Color of A. sp. Masken's eggs

[Ruki]

Hi! I'm wondering about color of A. sp. Masken's eggs. They should be white or it's something bad?

The color of freshly laid eggs is diet dependant. If the female's diet is heavy on bbs you will often get pink/red eggs. If the diet is not bbs heavy the eggs tend to be more cream color.

If the eggs started out cream or pink/red and have turned white the the eggs are almost certainly not viable.

All eggs are from the beginning white like milk. I'm anxious because I don't see any fry(it's 5th day since first female lay eggs, after 3 days eggs vanished, the same in second female, third and fourth today laid eggs).

The eggs hatch after 3 days. I imagine that your females may be hiding the larvae somewhere. The fry become freeswimming about 4 days after hatching (7 days after the eggs are layed).

Thanks Mike for info! If I see some larvae I'll write about it!
