I bought a sexed pair of Surinam cobalts from Patrick Nabors a few months ago, Today I found 5 eggs under one of the coco huts. 3 were grayish black and 2 were white (I believe and I only got a glance as not to disturb them) Am I correct when I say I think they are bad ?

Thought so. Good eggs are half white half dark right?

yes the first did have a straight tail the water probably 1/2in deep and I may take some out. I have him in RO/tad tea with boiled almond leaf and sppirulina goldfish flakes.

She is pretty fantastic about helping out.
Congrats on the tads!!!
your absence has gone through me like thread through a needle; everything I do is stitched with its color.

P.S I have java moss growing in my freshwater fish tank so I added some to the cups.

ok Up-date. I have 3 tad in the water from the first clutch. I thought they were dead but there getting bigger and wiggle whenever I top-off... not much else. Also I have 1 tad in the water from second clutch (making 4 altogether) and 2 more ready to go in any time. Along with another clutch with a few viable eggs.
