yes they look good to go..if they were white, they would be unfertilized
be prepared they will be moved alot ...if you can find something with a closed end cavelike, it will make them feel more safe...once they become free swimmers, 5-7 days, mom and dad will kill or stress to the ends of the earth, ANYTHING else in that tank ...congrats !!
