Found these today. When I got the ladder out and stuck my arm in the tank to pick the pot up all the eggs fell off the pot. I was going to to put them in a refugium to see what hatched. I have a few kinds of rainbows and plecos. I'm talking about the big yellow looking eggs not the nerite snail eggs next to them. Yes I know I need to get over there with the vacuum and stir the sand up.

I have no idea why they were on the outside of the flower pot. I also assumed they would be more sticky and stay on the pot as I lifted it out of the water. Now they are somewhere at the bottom of the tank. I have pleco fry currently, I had just never actually seen the eggs before as usually they are in the tubes and caves.

Maybe you have disturbed them during spawning because they tend to have few more and males are keen on guarding the eggs, possible they are from L333?

The yellow clearish things that are big I have no idea. The white eggs you can't see thru are from the nerites.
