Hi Lee,  The eggs I was collecting were also pink. You are feeding alot of red foods, certainly as much as I was (I was also feeding BBS and frozen cyclops), for it to be a dietary thing, don't you think? Unless it is not a red food that turns them pink.  I also fed alot of Sanders Black Gold flake, which is nearly %100 spirilina, and salmon chow that looks like coffee grinds. I don't know what is in that, but it is a pretty rich food.  Did you actually raise the pink eggs to spawning size fish, and then have them give you clear eggs? Interesting.    Ron
