Eggs?

[elephantnose]

Okay so I came home today at like 3:00. My lights were off meaning my timer was having problems. Went and fixed that. At this time I noticed that on one of my Melon sword were eggs. The eggs were white meaning they are infertile? There was only like 30. They almost look like snail eggs but I do not have any eggs. The eggs could also be oto eggs (very unlikely), GBR eggs (but why would they lay them so high up), or black neon eggs (explains why they weren't being guarded). The only other thing they could be from is my angels, but from their last 7 batches they alway protected the eggs. What do you thinks. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...E-A8AD-4FD8-811C-DBED7A7D1C60_zpsdjecr4pw.jpg

Ram or angel eggs they lay them wherever they find fit, tetras are egg scatterers so it won't be them.

I think it could be the tetras. Doesn't look like ram eggs, they're normally clumped and all together.

Tetras scatter their eggs they are not found laid in one spot like that they are definitely cichlid eggs.

I know but rams and angels have a tendency to guard theirs eggs.

Not if they aren't fertile they will eat them ot leave them to be eaten, fertile eggs are tan.

Elephantnose, heres a couple of pics of strange places my past rams have spawned, both surfaces were high and almost vertical. They completely ignored about a dozen different sized spawning rocks I placed for them.

Okay, so I'm starting to think they are ram eggs. I saw one of my rams on the same leaf the eggs were laid. They still do not look like ram eggs too big and too spread out. Here is a few pics to compare: this is a normal spawn I took a pic of: http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...5-6604-41F5-9DCE-2D58E9AFDCE6_zpshe2faafl.jpg these eggs with a ram near them. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...4-3276-46F5-9F81-70DA65958803_zpsta4xm7py.jpg

My guess is the angels have spawned - perhaps the female has dropped the eggs but the male isn't fully breeding fit at the moment, hence the eggs are not fertilised.

I'm saying infertile angel eggs. Looks just like the ones that my solitary female just to lay every now and then.

My angels have laid eggs over 7 times they usually make it 1-2 days before disappearing. They usually stay and guard there's eggs. Here is a pic if an old spawn. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums...4-E71A-4EDE-B036-4C5193BA7A98_zpskgbps7a9.jpg they angels are a pair so I doubt the the eggs would be from them as the male would of fertilized them.

Look like angel eggs to me as well. Maybe the lighting being messed up interrupted them and they got confused. Fish get used to a certain lighting cycle and usually spawn at a certain time of day.
