Sure sounds like them. They'll turn white in a day or two in they're
infertile. And hopefully turn dark with the developing fry in about a
week if fertile.
As long as we're hitting the topic of eggs, has anybody else noticed
that freshly laid fertile rainbow eggs have a slightly yellowish
color, and infertile eggs seem to be totally clear?
