Hi I have a 100L tank with 2 penguin tetras, 4 red eye tetras, 2 balloon rams and 1 cory melanistius.
There are little whit spots on the sidewall of my tank round about  1millimeter in diameter are these white spots eggs or parasites.
Thanks you
 
A picture might help a lot.
 
Do you have any snails in there? If so, it's very possible they're snail eggs. Especially if they appear in little clumps inside jelly. I'm led to believe breeding tetras is quite difficult so that might rule them out, for a start. Rams tend to spawn on a flat, horizontal surface and I think corys are more likely to spawn low down in the tank and not on the glass...hopefully an expert will pop along soon to correct if I'm wrong!
 
Thanks and yeah I do have a snail

How long do snail eggs like take to hatch? They have been there for like 2 days.
 
Quite often they won't hatch at all, you'll just end up scraping them off the décor...
 
If you don't scrape them off they can take a few days to just over a week to hatch. Depends what type of snails you have.
