shrimp eggs

[fishfight]

I have a tank with 1 African Clawed Frog, and 2 ghost shrimp. They are there mostly for cleaning, and a late night snack for froggy. Recently there are about a thousand little white puffs floating around the tank. It almost looks like cotton fibers in little groups. They are stuck in the filter, and on the caves, and on the rocks, and everywhere! What are these little white things. I read online that ghost shrimp keep their eggs close to them and they are green, so I don't think they are eggs. But I could be wrong... HELP!

how big are these 'fibres'? You could have aglae of some sort. Do you have live plants? Do you have lots of light, natural or otherwise?

these eggs are very tiny like as big as a ghosts shrimp eye and they are covered with white film and there is some sun that hits the tank but we try to prevent it as much as possible and no live plants or any plants and as far as light barely any artificial or barely sun.

shrimp carry their eggs under their tail

Can you tell for sure that there are eggs? or can you just see the white threads?

Mostly the white fuzz shows...looks like tiny white specs in the fuzz
