Definitely pond snail eggs I think.....🤨🔥
 
Yep, concur defintely snail eggs.

This is a pic of snail eggs from my tank, almost exactly the sameD3FB8FA5-BDAC-414E-9FA4-4F8FF040ABD7.jpeg.
 
They are not snail eggs. They are individual eggs laid in a weird formation.

Rainbowfish lay separate eggs that get stuck on plants.
Cherry barbs lay separate eggs that sink to the bottom.
Kribensis lay eggs on a hard surface in a cave.
Pond Snail eggs do not look like eggs, but rather look like a clump of jelly with dots in.

Is there a frog or salamander in the tank?
Any catfish in the tank?

To be more precise from my earlier post, these are pond/bladder snail eggs.

In the picture I posted, in that particular tank there were red cherry shrimps and Threadfin Rainbowfish, and of course had a bunch of pond snails as well which hitchhiked in via plants from LFS, that was all the livestock in the tank at that time.

So, threadfins scatters their eggs over fine leaved plants and suchlike, cherry shrimps carry their eggs so process of elimination with the livestock mentioned HAS to be snail eggs.

Edit - forgot to add full name - Threadfin Rainbowfish (Iriatherina werneri)
 
I did see post 6 and if you look at the two pictures, they are different. The OP's picture shows individual fish eggs in a cluster. Whereas Ch4rlie's picture has dots in a jelly cluster, which is typical of pond snail eggs.
They're in a jelly Colin, I've just zoomed right in so you can see them clearly...sorry to confuse you!

You must have better eyes than me, then...to me, they are identical, except for magnification
