<br>

well done with the brislenose

<br>

In my opinion, it's that they are dud eggs to start with. If they were good eggs and unfertilized, then they would not be opaque but still have a good solid colour but not develop. Your lack of an obvious yolk leads me to think that the egg was no good to start with.

<br>

Don't ask me why, but it is quite common - I see a lot of clutches that always have some of these - maybe they were in the developing stage when the female spawned????

<br>

Hope this helps
