Well, I asked, & you guys answered

, But it just wasn,t meant to be. (this time). It seems that 95% of the eggs that I transplanted have turned white. I guess the remaining eggs still possibly might hatch but I'm not expecting to be successful.
I do have one more question for all you fish breeders out there: Is it possible that I never had a pair in the first place, & it was just one or maybe two females putting out eggs that were never even fertile? Caged single parakeets, canaries, cockatiels etc. do that all the time and even sit on them - but obviously there's nothing to hatch. Is that the case with these egg-laying fish as well?
