Hey everybody, I’m new on here but just have a question... I recently started my first aquarium... it is a 10 gallon and I have 3 zebra danios and 3 cherry barbs... anyway, all of the levels in the water are good but I see something on a plant and on the rocks in one spot that I am unsure of... we were thinking one of the fish laid eggs, but I’m not sure... part of the plant looks like it has fuzz growing on it... any advice is appreciated, pics are attached.

Thank you!

Hello, when not fertilized fish eggs will fungus. Shouldn't hurt fish but I would pull from tank. Not positive maybe cherry barb????? Hope this helps!
 
Hey, thank you for the response! I googled it and it looks similar to ramshorn snail eggs, but I don’t have any snails? We’ve had the life plant for about 3 weeks and never noticed anything, is it possible they could have came in with the cherry barbs we got today?

Can't tell. If snails i would pull anyway. They can get out of hand quickly. Plus you still have to deal w/whatever laid them. Probably came in on plant babies tiny.
 
Definitely snail eggs, one has probably came in on your plants. You can remove them if you want.
