Have been trying to breed these Goulds for a while with no luck.
Have tryed them in the avairy for months but no go,then i decided to move them into a cabinet and now have eggs but i very sure they are in fertile.?????
Here are some pics of Goulds and eggs.

Is that how they always look? with 3 quarters of the egg cream and the rest white? or is that just the light coming through?

I will just wait and see,they look clear to me but i have said that before and then babies hatch.

How long have they been sitting on the eggs.

I think about 10 days,but i did forget about them for a while and just let them be,the cabinet i but them in is very private.

The eggs don't seem to be fertile to me. Happened to me last year with a pair not a single fertile egg and now this year they've had over 12 babies.

Not Fertile to me.

Don't look fertile to me...put one in water if it floats they are no good... if it sinks fertile, if memory serves me correctly

they are toast...i would wait 3 more days to be sure then remove them

Make sure the water is body temperature then float the Egg , if it stays still its no good if it moves its good ,
