Egg colour!!

["Carlos Villacastin" <carlos.villacastin@jrc.it>]

Hi all,

After a month or so of frequent chasing, displaying, body bending etc.. my
female cacatuoides has laid a dozen or so eggs in a half coconut shell. This
is the first clutch she´s laid but it worries me that the colour of the eggs
is white. I heard that this colour probably means the eggs had not been
fertilised by the male, who incidently always seemed more interested in
chasing other fish rather that perform hubby´s duties.

I think she started laying eggs yesterday afternoon, i.e. 20 hours ago. Does
anybody know what´s the average number of eggs and when should I expect to
see her strolling with the fry (assuming the egges were in fact viable)

Thanks

Carlos
