Unfortunately you can not tell if an egg is fertile by candling.  You have to either crack it open and examine the germinal disc, or incubate it.  Here are some helpful pictures on looking at the blastoderm

How do you tell if there's something growin or Alive in the egg
 
By candling, but the egg must be incubated first - for at least a week, and with some dark eggs maybe longer. You can not tell if an egg that has not been incubated - that is, kept in an incubator or under a broody hen - is fertile without cracking it open. And if you do that, of course, you can not incubate it.
