What Kind Of Eggs Are These?

[rdd1952]

I was getting ready to do a water change and just noticed these eggs. I'm about half blind without my reading glasses so I had not noticed them until now (had the reading glasses on as I walked by). Can anyone tell who they may belong to. They are in my 75 gallon with black phantom tetras, angel fish, corys, a single pleco and SAEs.

I had some of these in my tank yesterday too, they're all gone now but I'd love to know what they were too.

Id say angel fish potentially cories also.

I actually got a quick answer to my question as when I walked back in there, there was actually 2 of my angel fish laying them. They are sliding their bellies up the side of the filter intake. There are already way more than what was in the photo.. How long does it take them to hatch and do I need to do anything to isolate them so the other fish won't eat them?

EDIT: Well, I went outside with the dog and came back in to no eggs. The pleco was sucked onto the intake and the eggs were gone. Hopefully, thy will lay some more. I may have to move him to the 29 gallon (he's about 6 or 8 inches) until this is over. Any suggestions???

I had to moe the pleco to the other tank. After he ate the eggs, they laid more and only a few minutes later, he was up there hoovering them up again. The pH and temp of both tanks are exactly the same so I just netted him and dropped him in the other. Hopefully, they will be able to hatch.

Angelfish like you said for sure. White eggs arent fertile.

You really are gonna need to isolate the pair if you want amy chance of raising some fry, in a tank with any other fish they will be eaten, even by themselves, the parents might not be great parents. Most angel breeders self hatch the eggs.

Good luck rdd Keep us posted.
