fish eggs? What kind?
I assume these are eggs? Does anyone have a clue what kind they are. I know the pic isn't very good. They look like an oversized bleach white grain of salt inside a translucent sphere.
The tank has albino corries, neon tetras, dwarf frogs, guppies (I know, live bearer), and Chinese algae eaters.
Does anyone have a clue what kind they are? I wonder why the fish are not eating them? They are on the glass, the plant, the intake tube for the filter and maybe other places.
I can try and take better pics if it will help.

+ 1 on above. It can't be guppies neons or dwarf frogs from egg type and the next most likely is cory

It must be the corries. I wonder why the fish are not eating them? I did a little searching and read that unfertilized eggs look white, and fertilized ones look brown. The ones on the plant look white to me but the ones in this pic on the white ceramic house look slightly brown. do these look fertilized? What can I do to save them? there are heavy plants in one side of the tank if they can make it across but there are also predators in the plants (the ghost shrimp, dwarf frogs and guppies all hang around in the plants a lot). There are other hiding places (guppy fry have managed to hide and survive but only a few). The pic is the top of a ceramic house that could be removed. I do not have a spare tank (I do have a plastic breeder I can put in the tank, the kind that uses air to create current and push the fry into the other chamber). I could also use a 5 gal bucket (I think I could manage an extra heater and air).

I'd wait to see if they hatch, then I'd setup the bucket for the fry if you find some.Good luck with the eggs! =)

I had planned on buying corries for another tank so I'll keep a close eye on them (free is always better).
