Sometimes the leucistics can look pinker when they are more active. Otherwise you need to check your water paremeters for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. If you are able to test for these , let us know. I you don't have the test kit, take sample of the water to the pet shop to test. Raised levels of ammonia can cause this.

I used ammo-lock and the spawn you sent me seem to be fine, although they haven't hatched there are 8 or 9 that are really growing well inside their eggs.

If ammo-lock did effect them i think it probably would have harmed their growth.
