No other Fish in the tank, they are in a bare bottom 30g breeder tank.

White eggs means they are not fertilize/will not develop and no longer good. They will eventually fungus up.

Going to do WC now and the eggs were laid yesterday. When I look at them they look beige to me but in photo they look white... should I wait and see?

No they are not good eggs and they will soon clean them up and try again most likely in 7 to 10 days. If possible watch them and see if indeed you have a male and he is fertilizing them. They will not turn white if everything is right. Like I mentioned they will know they are not good and will eat them to try again.
What part of NC you from sternchen?

I am near Fayetteville. Have a very hard time to even find Discus around here. Where are you located, in Troy? (just guessing because of the name haha)

Your right, Rocky Mount NC about hour from you . If you are looking for some great discus, I have got some from Hans (maryland) but Eric (carolina discus) is where I get alot of mine. He is near charollette so not that far from you. The erupation leapords in my avatar I got from him along with some others. Cant go wrong with Eric.

Awesome, only about an hour? I will have to come see you sometime soon. Maybe take a trip and see Eric as well :)

absolutely, just let me know, you certainly need to visit Eric when you want to buy, I promise you will be going home with some awesome fish. I have a batch of 5 week old fry now.
