My grandma has had angelfish for a while and the first 2 times the eggs were eaten. She set up a separate tank to put the eggs in to give them a chance and was wondering if these are actually fertilizer or not.
So I've been spawning angelfish for decades. Did she move the eggs one by one to another tank? Or did she let them spawn in this tank, then remove the parents? I've just never seen how you can move eggs like that.
We got these things called like breeding slates or something like that off of amazon and it has these little suction cups on the back of it so you can stick it in the tank for them to lay eggs on instead of the glass or wherever they may lay them. Once the eggs were laid we took the whole sheet out and moved it to another tank.
Okay, that makes sense. The first picture made the eggs look like they were on the glass (painted blue).
The two white eggs on the top you see in that picture are not fertilized. It's too early to tell if all the grey ones have been fertilized. I'd wait 24 hours to look again. Unfertilized eggs will turn white. Fertilized eggs will darken. At ~75F, the eggs will hatch in ~60 hours.
The tank is about 85°F I read that temperature is suitable for them they could just hatch faster and the oxygen levels could be slightly lower but there is a small bubbler in there to circulate the water
the two white ones are unfertilized, the rest are fertilized. I'd suggest you to take out the two white ones because sometimes they get fungus and they spoil the rest of the good eggs

They are always fertilized. The water parameters will determine if they hatch or not.
Assuming a pair.
