Eggs that were not successfully fertilized will turn white. The parents will usually eat them. If all the eggs are turning white it is possible that you have two females, one of which will mimick the behavior of a male but of course cannot fertilize the eggs. This happens sometimes. Also, be aware that it may appear that angelfish are eating the healthy (translucent or amber) fertilized eggs, if there are any. This is their "cleaning" motion...you will notice that the parents will get close to the eggs and use their small pectoral fins to fan them. They put their mouths close to the eggs too, my theory is that they have some type of sensory ability to tell if eggs are healthy/clean this way. The fin fanning prevents crud from settling on the eggs and ensures that they do not get fungal infections.

Once the angelfish have laid the eggs they will be a darke yellow or faded white. If you remove them and they haven't been fertilised or haven't developed then they will turn white this means that they are dead! Angelfish are very good parents mine don't let any other fish in the half of the tank that the eggs are in!! i would leave the eggs in the tank until they are born and if the fish eat them then remove them!

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.
