I have a ten gallon tank with 3 bonas aries tetra (spelling), 3 black ghost tetra and 2 albino cory, I woke this morning to find little fuzzy clouds on the bottom of the tank, they are not attached to anything, are these egss, if you think they are what fish could have laid them also what do I do with them ...sorry probly silly questions but I am new to keeping fish.

Need an answer ...

More description I guess

The ''eggs'' look like chook eggs though white in the centre, .....white dots with a clear substance around them...since this morning they have doubled in size...the white bits have anyway..........help!!!! what do I do with them???

I'm not sure either. When my Angel's eggs turn white it means they are dead but the whole egg is opaque white, no clear substance. The white fuzzy stuff is probably fungus, that's what happens to Angel eggs when they are not fertile.

Maybe something spawned and the eggs died or maybe a female just expelled her eggs. They should not have fungused so soon if it only happened last night though. They might have been down in the substrate for a few days and just now floated up.

They almost sound like amphibian eggs with the clear stuff around them.

This probably hasn't been much help. If I were you and thought they had a chance of hatching, I'd take them out and put them in a different tank. If you don't think they are likely to hatch get them out and toss them.

What do you feed? could it be some old pellets that have been in the substrate that started to fungus and floated up?

Good luck, Mike

Could be fungused eggs or fungused food. Either way, get 'em out soon, they're definite pollutants when they go bad.
