Just eggs and nothing to do except leave them alone. If the other fish don't eat them, they should hatch in a week and the babies will hide among the plants.

And now you know you are taking good care of your fish. Breeding from egglayers is their way of complimenting you.

If you want to be sure they are not eaten you can pull them to a hatching tank. You need a heater and airstone as well as anti-fungal. the eggs are sticky but can be removed from the glass and transferred. A number of the members here can help you if you want to do this.

I used to siphon the eggs into the hatching tank (5 gal is fine or even a 2.5). Use airline hose to do that and be sure thar you siphon into water not an empty tank.

That’s how I look at things . If your fish breed on their own without you fussing over them then you’re doing everything right .
