Killi eggs

Could anyone tell me if there are any major size differences of Killie eggs between the different species.

Just checked my mops at lunch today - like i do every day. Found a couple australe gold eggs - as usual. Checked my P82 mops and to date havnt found any eggs, however today it looks like there could be eggs, but they are very tiny.

Possibly less than a third the size of my australe eggs... My eyesight is pretty good but i have to really struggle to see them

Could anyone confirm or deny that killie eggs sizes differ between the species?

I feed my killies flake and micro worms and it doesnt look like the eggs are waste food.

Thanks heaps
