Are they fish eggs? Can't Post
I've just found some jelly type egg things stuck to some plants. I assume they are fish eggs but wondered if they might be something else? My first sign of fish reproduction so am very excited. Wondering what combination of my fish will emerge. Koi - goldfish? Tench - Orfe?

Anyway I'm following the instructions left on the forum to try and encourage their growth.

I also found a couple of strange little insects. I can only describe them as mini scorpions (about 1cm) with a three prong tail. Anything sinister? Lots of little red worm things (about 0.5cm) aswell, which I wondered was a good thing.

Any ideas.

Ta.

Yeh,

Think I'm a daddy, there's not quite the population explosion as on the picture (I only found two blobs of jelly). Each blob has many pin pricks (or eggs) in.

PS. The scorpion thing was a Mayfly - a sign of well oxygenated water I read.

Bye
