thats it! some snails and 4 rasboras :S
 
Is it apple snails you have? I'm 99% certain they're not rasbora eggs,
If they are apple snails, you need to get the eggs out of the water; apple snail eggs need to be out of water when they hatch, or the baby snails will drown; they need to be able to take in some air; they drop underwater later.
Popping the leaf into a margarine tub with a tiny layer of water in the bottom floating in the tank would do the trick.
 
dunno what snails they are. one is black and white. thick striped and the other two are a dark brown/purple colour
 
The striped one might be a nerite snail? They will lay eggs but won't come to anything in a freshwater aquarium. I believe they need brackish water to hatch. Don't know what the others will be.
 
Horned Nerite Snails i think they are. like the ones in this pic

@Fluttermoth - They're not apple snail eggs. Also apples lay them above the waterline if they need to be kept out of water.

@OP - I'd deffo go for nerite snail eggs then, but as Mo1959 said, they wont hatch in freshwater as they need brackish. If you're interested in trying to hatch them try googling it, but I reckon you're probably too late to try with this batch.
 
The apple snails, mystery snails, always lay eggs above the water surface in nice clusters. That completely eliminates them from consideration for the pictures you have posted. What is left is fish that lay eggs in random patterns that do not require particular situations to lay eggs and that lay individual eggs. That means you are not looking for egg scattering fish like neons in your search nor are you looking for mouth brooders like betta simplex. I hope you can identify which of your remaining fish might be responsible for the eggs.
