Hi all I woke up this morning to the water's surface this morning covered in eggs. I have a single female honey gourami (wild type) and 3 sawbwa resplendens (1 female and 2 male)

I've had breeding before since I used to also have a male honey gourami however these eggs would normally be in the bubble nest.

Does anyone know what species these eggs are? Thanks

Was the gourami fat yesterday and slim today?

It's most likely the barbs but a single female gourami that was full of eggs might have shed them during the night.

Thanks for reply :)

Ive not seen a difference in size to the gourami however the female sawbwa has shrunk in the belly

I also just got home from work to see very few eggs remaining with the ones that are in the roots of the frogbit
I did manage to get some into a jug this morning so I may attempt to grow some out if the eggs were fertile, in a small tank.
