36 hours in and all the eggs turned white :O

Bummer... I dont think I have two females. when she is laying her "stuff" is obviously female, the males that hangs out a lil has more of a triangle shape to it.....

Not sure what went wrong this batch.

Im not sure of the age but they are about 4" long, maybe a hair longer... But you may be right - The guys I got them from said they laid eggs about 3 times in thier 500gallon display before I bought them. THis is the second time in 4 weeks they have laid in my tank....eggs all got eaten the first time but went over 48 hours without turning white...which makes me wonder about the shooting blanks thing, cause we saw about 10 eggs turn white but the rest were looking good til a sneaky loach found a way through the baracade - lol,
this time they ALL turned white within 24-36 hours - there are still about 10 eggs that didnt turn white, but ive not been home today yet to see whats up....

My setup is 125gal tank, 2 canisters, both running carbon, one runs peat balls in it, tank has driftwood and a couple plants, also running a spong filter driven by a power head -

Ive not checked my PH recently, will do that tonite before I do a 50% wc
