Recently have my second bunch of BN pleco eggs, can anyone tell me if these are normal? last months batch were a dud, this time we let dad keep on them for 3 days since we noticed them and then moved them to a separate tank. the eggs are still pretty yellow/orangey but some starting to have a white/yellow sort of spot on top? advice greatly appreciated

Yes they are normal and you can see the babies developing inside them.
You should not remove the eggs from the father because he fans them to keep the oxygen levels up and he guards them for the first few weeks of their life.
If you have them in a separate tank, add an airstone and have it bubbling gently near the eggs. You want some water movement over the eggs, but not too much so the eggs get picked up and blown around the tank.
Make sure there are plants and driftwood in the baby's tank. They feed on biofilm for the first few weeks and starve in a new clean tank.
