A large number of animals produce eggs for reproduction.

Some eggs have a leathery or hard shell to protect them from the elements and from the handling they receive during incubation.

Some eggs, like those of most amphibians are soft and rely on water for hydration.

Other eggs remain in a protected, uterine environment where they grow until birth.

Why did your angelfish eggs turn white?

Eggs which were not fertilized will turn white, usually within the first day. After that, it is unavoidable that some eggs will die during the development process, but the number can be reduced by maintaining proper water flow over the eggs (if you have removed the eggs from the parents) and treating the water with some fungicide such as MarOxy.


Why do frogs lay eggs?

Why do less then half of the eggs turn into tadpoles in frog reproduction?

Less than half of the eggs turn into tadpoles in frog reproduction because many of the eggs are not fertilized by sperm.

Only the healthiest and most viable eggs will successfully develop into tadpoles.
