Neon or glow tetra eggs?

Meighan97 · Mar 7, 2020

Hi there, I'm new to the whole tropical fish thing..
The last 3 days I've noticed one of my glowlight tetras a little on the chunky side..
This morning I woke up to all this in my tank? Are these eggs? I only have neon tetras and Glowlight tetras in my take but I thought it was odd that they are floating..
Also it's not grime because I literally cleaned my tank two days ago and it is still moderately clean apart from this.. Please help lol thank you...

Tetra eggs are small and round and sink to the bottom.

The white bubbles under the filter outlet are just air bubbles from the filter aerating the water. It's nothing to worry about unless there is lots, in which case it can be caused by lots of protein and organic matter in the water.

Do a 75% water change and gravel clean the substrate and it should go.
Make sure nay new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.

I have both neon and glow light tetra and when I do see their eggs they are on the bottom, I just found a glow light tetra fry in my tank :fish:
