i have 3 zebra danios 1 is sorta golden and 2 of them are silvery(thinking 1 male 2 females), they are in a holding tank right now since theres a crazy infection in the tank thats being treated, im seeing little white dots that looks bigger than salt, they stick to the bottom of the tank, are they eggs?
 
They sound more like white spot spores to me.. Danio eggs are Very hard to see due to the increadibly small size, and they are usually clear, plus from what i have read, they are not sticky like some eggs. Also (assuming the fish have access to them), if they were eggs, the danios would have ate them.. Danios are one of the fish that have the annoying habit of eating their own eggs.
Good pic of the eggs on HERE, and if you read it, you can see how much trouble Mike went too, to protect the eggs.

EDIT - there is also a section on sexing them on that page, so that should sort out who's who for you :)
