Mysterious eggs found

[Kanesska]

I was just scrubbing some dead black beard algae off my powerhead, when I had to stop. I found some live eggs really stuck on there, I had scraped a few off before I realized what they were, Can anyone help me ID these?

Tank inhabitants are;
~3 Zebra Danios
~2 Glowlight tetras
~5 Rummynose tetras
~2 clown loaches (young)
~5 Harlequin Rasboras
~1 dwarf Neon Rainbow
~1 Yellow Rainbow
~2 Koi Angels, but just sold one tonight
~2 Dwarf african frogs
~2 2.5" BNP's
~4 Otto's

Pictures;
The circled area seems to have a tail?




Any idea's?

Thanks in advance
Amber

they dont look like eggs to me.. maybe its just the pictures. if your 100% sure they are eggs...
they could be the otos, thats my first guess. but its hard to say.. most of your fish are egg scatters!

looks like bba to me.. The only fish there that would lay eggs on something would be the angels but angel eggs don't look like that.

I thought the same, which is why I was scrubbing, but this stuff has a thick protective coating over it like eggs sometimes do..

Well they were gone this morning, maybe I'll find out soon enough.

To me they look like dwarf African frog eggs. They appear to be the right size and colour plus that thick protective jelly layer is a dead give away. Look for hatched tadpoles sticking to plant leaves and the side of the aquarium although your fish will make short work of them.

Thanks! I've been looking all morning, but the tanks so heavilly planted its hard to find anything lol, I had this problem last week when I found a danio fry, but couldn't catch it. I think it along with whatever siblings it may have had have been eaten too

Although, I did sell an angel so the agression in my tank has dropped substantially. Plus, I've started feeding more so hopefully they're less likely to "hunt", keeping my fingers crossed
