I found what could possible be eggs in goldfish tank. I have male and female fish. However Ive not seen eggs before; what do eggs look like (I cant really look at work cos most hobby sites are blocked).
What I have found look to be little clear bubbles (they are definitely not bubbles but thats what I originally thought they were).
They were wedged between the side of the tank and the thermometer; so I removed them to a container.
I cant tell if they are eggs or if they are air bubbles in their poo. Without being too graphic, as you know when fish poo they have like a membrane thing around it which effectively holds it together; these eggs also have that membrane surrounding them (but no other dirt/mess). They also float.
They are clear, and dont look to have anything in them, and they are about 0.5-1cm in diameter (not quite 1cm but smaller than that).
Are they eggs, or just air bubbles? Ill try and get a decent photo if I can. Also if they are eggs, what do I do?
Do they need to be in a filtered tank; would my best options be to put them in a breeding trap in the main tank or to maybe put them in a spare 1.5 gallon tank I have (filter will be too strong for them though).
EDIT: I guess I should maybe add (don’t know if it’s important or not).
I have goldfish (I’ve had them 9 years) and shibunkins (I’ve had them 9 years), and goldfish (I’ve had them about 7 months)
