Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I'm a beginner at all this and have only had my tank since dec of this year so I'm learning... and I have had a fair few casualties so I'm a little paranoid about anything new in my tank!
I was doing a water change yeyesterday and lifted the lid off the tank .. shocked I was when I saw this cacocoon shaped bundle of joy(?) attatched to the side of the cover. It doesnt sit in the water but there is loads of heat and condensation. It is - about 50-60 white eggs - about 1.5 inches long by about 1/2 inch wide. It's amazing looking but I'm not sure how any of the fish in my tank could possibly be happy enough to lay eggs - most of them don't even have mates anymore. Which one of these fish could it possibly be?
I have:
1 snail
4 zebra danos
1 angle fish
1 catfish type thingy
1 loach
2 guppies
Has anyone seen eggs laid out of the water before and what should I do with them? I have a nursery box (for some reason). Should I remove it and put it in there to see what comes out of the eggs? I'm kind of curious what happens here but I don't want an infestation of some alian creature.
Any advise?
