@rosyfosy The cloudy eggs most likely have fungus growing on them and should be seperated/discarded from the fertilized eggs. Fertilized eggs will be yellowish/not cloudy with a spot in them. The males push the females into something (either plants or a spawning mop) which forces the female to expel eggs and then the males release their milt onto the eggs fertilizing a large amount of them.
@tahmanena I get hundreds of eggs/fry if I take the time to pick them all out and sort through and seperate the fertile eggs from the batch. I never wind up being able to grow them out though since I don't the tank space anymore. I did find a few surviving inch long goldfish in my aquaponic buckets. The eggs must have gotten sucked up by the pump and transferred to the buckets after I removed the prefilter from it because I got sick of cleaning the mulm out of it every week.
