I woke up this morning for the ritualistic feeding and head count of all my fish and what did I find?.... Eggs all over the filter intake!! I was shocked and wondered who on earth could have "done it".
My first thought was my angels... I bougth them a year ago when they were babies, and I only bought two, so the chances of them being male and female I thought to be pretty slim. But it appears as though they may be the ones. I am very excited... I am posting pictures to make sure it was indeed my angels. They hover around the intake quite a bit, and get close and flap their pectoral fins near the eggs. Does it sound like a mating pair to you guys? The only other fish I have that could mate are: corycats and black phantom tetras, but I am not sure if they breed in this manner.
Just thought I would share the joy and get confirmation as to what the eggs are.

I do have a question. Some have turned white (signs of fungus right?) What is the best way to remove them without crushing neighboring eggs? Tweezers? If you leave them will the fungus spread?
