HI Riv,
They seem ok to me, still there at least. Mom n Dad take turns fanning, and protecting them. I'm on a mad dash to get another tank set up for the others.
I've looked for threads explaining the significance of the color of the eggs, but can't seem to find the answer to my question.
It's been I guess around 13 hours since they layed, most of the eggs are brown, but a few, around 20 are opaque white. Are the white ones fertilized, or the brown? Or is it to early to tell? How long till they turn?

Wait 72 hours after laying if fertile the eggs will turn
black. On the 6 to 7 days the frys will be free swimming
depending on your breeding stock and their health.

And, yes, turn that heater off, put an extra in the tank to keep it warm.

White eggs are dead. when they are fertilized they will turn black.

Cool, thanks for the help all! What's Meth Blue, and where can I get it? Would LFS's carry it? Like Petsmart?

Hi,
Methylene Blue is a formula that is colored blue. You can find it in most LFS. If not, your pharmaceutical stores will likely sell it (in the aisles, non-prescription).
