goldfish egg questions

[aquadude]

HI all

Have just changed my goldfish to another tank over the weekend & today noticed around the edge of a leaf of a floating plant

I honestly dont know whether actual eggs or bubbles...I scared to disturb them in case they are eggs.

Can anyone do me a favour who uses photo hosting sites ...pm your email address and I will send the photo for you to look at the photo and PM me back or post the photo in this thread

I never saw these when they were in the previous tank

thanks

Yes - I googled goldfish eggs but as a newbie not sure what I have

try picasa. That's the one I use. Do you have any plants to collect the eggs?

Here is aquadude's pic. I am afraid that even with my glasses on I can't see anything except maybe one dot on one leaf! :oops:

Goldfish lay in plants, that is what piggyvir means. They do not scatter eggs randomly on the substrate. It hsa been many years since I have looked closely at goldfish eggs but I seem to remember they were on the underside on the lilies and looked like a solid mass of bubbles.

Snail eggs are not as dense, and are in small clumps here and there all over everything. They are also clearer and jelly-like. Like clear with a black dot in the middle.

I can see something.... can't tell if they're eggs or not :-?

try and stick a container up under it and see if they come off or not, they usually attach to something, also goldfish eggs are more of a whitey cream colour
