Well for sure the white ones are bad. I have had discus lay deep orange to almost red eggs and both produced wigglers. Just wait 48 hrs and you will know for sure if you have a pair.

Thanks Jerry but is it normal for eggs to be brown on the 1st 12-18 hours and then some of them begin to get a white yello orange coller

IME, eggs will turn darker over time, not lighten up. Do they look more opaque when they turn orange? If so, they are not fertilized.

+1,

Mines start with a black dot and then get darker as they mature and finally hatch.

I have Discus that lay orange eggs and whitish eggs. Both turn to wigglers. I suspect that our domsticated Discus are products of various strains and we see their true nature in the eggs.

Has anyone done a study on this? Meaning wild Discus - what do blues lay? Heckels? greens? and Browns? What color are their eggs?
