Yup,
They don't look too good to me.
Milky is never a good sign.

what could cause eggs to be milky???

I would say they are not fertile, or at least dead eggs.

I REALLY doubt the CYclop-eeze would have a negitive effect. I feed all of my spawning pairs some eat day and other than the one problem pair I had posted about they are fine.

So did you reduce the flow on this last spawn?

Also, that is a very small nest for a activly spawning pair, it might be a issue of not getting enough food. How often are you feeding to saturation?

ok i feed 6 to 8 times a day. she is very fat, i feed lots of different foods. yes the water flow was off . it is there 9th spawn there were close to 300 houndred eggs that spawn. i cant think of anything else i did see some red spots on te eggs. also there looks to be division but not in all of them. i think i will feed medicated flake food for 15 days if things dont change than i will change out the male. is there anything else you could think of?

I also dont beleive the cyclope-eeze is the problem. My pair gets a little cyclope-eeze every day.
you shut the water flow down when they spawn? I have a surge (actually 2) that is 3-4 feet above the tank which empties about 6 gallons in 4-5 seconds through a 2" pipe. The water flow is really rocking.. My pair spawns right through the surging action.
