  Bob you are right about the color of the eggs that may change with the diet,
but I was trying to drive your attention on the brightness off the eggs and on
the fact that the color may change and become opalescent even as soon as the
second day after the spawn come.
That is based only on my experience

Anyway thanks Bob and bye
Have a great day you all
