Hi Mark I had never heard of these before but googled them and now know what to look for so will check. I fed them a piece of Broccoli stalk a week ago which they detached from the lead weight and it disappeared. I have been looking for it ever since, I suppose it is possible that this turned to mus...

Hi Mick I am now intrigued as to what they were if not eggs. The spots appeared to be slightly sticky as they were sticking to the fish and they were eating them off each other and picking at them in the water. I have 3 power heads creating a current in the tank. I will investigate further. Thanks f...
