Fish Eggs Found!

[Nauplii]

Hey i have a Juwel Rekord 120, and above the waterline i have found a small batch of eggs (dry) that all together is 5mm long and contains 13 odd eggs.
These are white.

What fish i have in my tank are:
2 Angel fish (one large, one small)
2 Silver sharks (6")
1 nannacara anomala
4 Rainbow fish (could these be a possibility?)
2 Mollies(i know its not these)
3 clown loach ( around 4"-5")
1 darter tetra
1 African butterfly fish
1 synodontis Alberti
1 Pleco
3 Upside down catfish


Anyone have any ideas of whose eggs these are?

And what should i do with them? Keep them out of water? In water??

thanks
Will check this after my smaller tanks water change.

Any help greatfully received.

do you have any snails in the tank

I have MTS deeply buried, they'd never make the top of the tank because they'd be nabbed by the clown loach!

really? eventhough one angel is like 2", and the other is like 5"-6"?! i think thats quite a comical thought i have there lol

 

[callum_parsons]

its caviar

i think cavier can only come from a sturgon fish (unless that is where the most expensive cavier comes from)

 

[Nauplii]

ok so say they are angelfish eggs... out of some strange way lol, the question is..

What do i do with them?
Keep them dry or put them in a pot of aquarium water?

Not sure what type of eggs they are, but they need to be in water all the time, a small tank of water, with an airstone. If they are angel eggs you would see the angels protect them and they would be placed on a flat more or less vertical surface. If they have been out of the water, they may be dead already.

ok well ive put them in a pot on my windowsill which contails floating plant that im growing, so ill hope for the best.
Thanks guys

i'd say either the angel fish (see if they're always together and maybe going at it?)
or the rainbow fish things
good luck!!

um, as far as i know, only certain killifish lay eggs that can survive being dried out. most fish eggs are squishy, gel-like things that shrivel up and dry out when exposed to air for a long time. they certainly don't have a tough outer shell and they don't retain a spherical shape when dry.

those look like apple snail eggs.
