Colour of Keyhole cichlids eggs

[Joshlikesfish]

Hey everyone. My friends keyholes laid (again) and this is the longest the eggs have lasted. They come out browny coloured but turn white. Is that normal? He claims they ate all the non white eggs.

Thanks

Usually if they turn white it's because they've fungused.

Thought so.

Keyhole eggs are the same colour as a terracotta pot.

White ones are fungused ones as Ira has already pointed out

Thanks.

The pair is pretty useless then haha. They lay every 15 days and never get past day 2. Go white and die

maybe they are both females.

Seen them spawn. One lays other does the milt part. Unless its a she who is pretending and not laying eggs :-?

When two other members off this forum saw this pair, they though they were two males :-?
