In fact, it is likely that they are not eggs at all, but rahter just fluid accumulation in the fishes' body from the bacterial infection. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Even if they weren't and you managed to extract them, how would you fertilize them? You can't squeeze the sperm out of a male fish. It really isn't worth it.
