    The white will not develop into anything but the clear ones will.
    If other fish have not already eaten them, those fish will raise them as if they are their own. Good Parents ...

        You have two options.

        1. Let the parents raise their young.. always wonderful to see nature take its course.
        2. Remove the eggs now and put them in a tank with an airstone running over the eggs to give fresh clean water over them constantly.

        It all depends on what you would like to see

            I agree. How many of the eggs are white? It's very possible that they won't develop, if the parrot was one of the parents, but you never know. I'd leave them as they are. If the Red Devil is guarding them, I'm sure he'll do a pretty darn good job, lol.

                I say let them hatch.....could be interesting t see what they are, but if they don't hatch then you went through all the fuss of separating them for nothing. And if half of them are already white, chances are their will not be that many that hatch....But thats just me.

                  just let the parents take care of it. either they'll hatch or the won't. either way it's good practice for momma and daddy

                        Any white at all probably means they're not viable.

                            They will stay looking clear for about two days, and then you will start seeing small changes to the eggs, like a tail will break the surface, eyes will develop etc..
