Default Purple rams have laid eggs

today our new purple rams have spawned, male appears to have fertilized them but they are still white in colour, are they meant to be peach???
also how long will they take to hatch and what do we do now??
thanks

Eggs should be a peachy colour, yes. Eggs hatch in 24-48hrs. If this is their first batch of eggs, dont expect them to last long, the parents usually eat their first few batches. If there are other fish in the tank then they will get harrased by the parents as they try to guard their eggs.
Good Luck!
