Are these gold fish eggs ?

No, those aren’t goldfish eggs. Goldfish scatter their eggs all over plants, sides decor, , wherever they fall. They are never clumped and are very easy to see. They are sticky and will stick to things. If fertilized, they will stay clear and if not, they will become white. You will easily find at last 50 eggs in one release. Hope this helps. 
I just looked again. I apologize but I’m in a car with very bright sunlight coming in. It’s making it hard to see the pics without a glare. If those are in a pond, they may be goldfish eggs. I’ll look closer when I get home.

There in a 5 foot tank there are goldfish shubunkins and two koi not sure witch laid the eggs or who fertalised them was hoping some one on here would no
They look more like snail eggs. Goldfish eggs would be singular, very round and nothing jelly looking on them. They are about the size of a bb.

There is no snails in my fish tank for them to be snail eggs
I don't see any jelly, or clumps, they're not snail eggs. Each photo is an individual egg, and the developing embryos inside sorta look like a happy face on each one.
Sorry I can't help regarding what kind of eggs they are, that's kinda exciting! I assume the hatching process would be the same regardless of which fish laid them, so hatch them and see! And please keep us updated with photos!

Yes they are fish eggs and they are fertile and have developing embryos in them. However, goldfish eggs don't normally stick to plants, at least not in my experience.
What other fish are in the tank?
You don't want too much water movement or you will kill the fry when they hatch.

The following link has information on culturing food for baby fish. Look for the section called "Emergency Fry Food" and boil an egg to use as the first food. You won't have time to culture other foods.
Back to Basics when Breeding Fish
STARTING OUT Make sure you have a pair, (1 male + 1 female). There is nothing worse than spending your hard-earned dollars buying a couple of fish to try and breed and ending up with a pair of fish of the same sex. Let's face it, to reproduce fish you need a male and a female. Two males won't do...

I have koi goldfish and shubinkins in the tank
Goldfish eggs do stick to plants. I tear off the leaf of the plant they’re stuck on and place it in my nursery tank. They stick all over everything.
These are some of my goldfish eggs in breeder box when I was removing them from parents tank. Look at the bottom of the acrylic box. Those are goldfish eggs..
@AdoraBelle Dearheart in pic one, it looks like tiny black eggs in a jelly substance.I don't see any jelly, or clumps, they're not snail eggs. Each photo is an individual egg, and the developing embryos inside sorta look like a happy face on each one.

Goldfish are goldfish so they would still be goldfish if they were goldfish eggs. You wouldn’t know what type they are (breed) until after birth when they color up at about 8 or 9 weeks. Keep us posted.I don't see any jelly, or clumps, they're not snail eggs. Each photo is an individual egg, and the developing embryos inside sorta look like a happy face on each one.

Ah, to me, it looks like a single egg, with a developing embryo in it. But, I'm way overdue for an eye exam and new glasses, and the photos aren't the clearest either.

Oh I know, I just meant that as they grow, they'll soon see if it's an ordinary goldfish, a shubunkin or a koi.
What kind of tank set up do you have, @Whatfish ? Would love to see it! I have shunbunkins in my pond, love them. Would love to have a koi pond again someday too.
