I am quite new to keeping tropical fish, i have had my tank for 14 months, i started of with a large starter tank, not quite sure of the exact size, but that was quite successful, so 2 months ago i felt confident enough to upgrade to the next size up from that, in the tank i have 5 pearl danio's, 3 albino catfish, 1 dalmation molly, 5 neon tetra, 2 cherry barbs, 2 golden barbs, 2 tiger barbs, 2 white cloud minnows and 1 siamese fighter, everything was going well, but this afternoon i looked at the tank and there are eggs all over the glass, i have no idea which fish has laid the eggs, and i am not sure what to do next because i have never even considered them having eggs, i am having a rather large panic attack so any advice will be very welcome.
 
If there are any snails in the tank, then its probably them, if not, then i dont know -_-

Thanks for the suggestion, there are no snails in the tank, i have only had this tank up and running for 2 weeks and i have artificial plants in, so i can't see how any snails could have got into it.
 
from what you said about the albino cat fish then these are most likely corydoras , they lay eggs and once they reach a certain size i know they will start breeding as long as there is males and females obviously, though i dont know much about the breeding of corys so i best leave this one to other members.another thing you may of mistaken it for is your betta, if this is a male he shouldnt rearly be in a community tank with barbs , he could of made a bubble nest but again im no expert. :D
 
It wouldnt of been the betta, unless the "eggs" are on the surrface...

All the eggs are stuck to the glass, but i'm not sure what to do next, should i leave them where they are or should i move them into my old tank , i have watched the other fish and so far they all seem to be ignoring them, thank you for all the advice so far, i really appreciate the help.
