Question: What is this?!

[sully]

It came to my attention as i was cleaning out my axie tank that there was some squiggly black and clear jelly stuff on the bottom of my anubias. it has also come to my attention that Sully is male and Zeppelin i recently found out is female ( they were doing the dance and obviously the physical or lack of changes in their parts) i was looking up pictures and trying to figure out if they were eggs or some sort of disease or what. but they are really tiny and im just not sure. if its eggs obviously i have to prepare food and housing. any input would be wonderful on what this is.

Do you have snails or any other critter sharing the space? They look too small to be caudate eggs.

In aquarium/ pet stores, sometimes they keep fish in their plant tanks. The only thing I could think of is that you have some fish eggs from the store on the bottom of your leaf. However, there are almost always snails that accompany the plants so just be vigilant for the snails. The fish would have almost certainly died in the aquarium because axolotls are very particular about their water parameters.

But I've had the plant for probably about 2 months and it never had this and I've never seen any snail on my tank and I've looked very hard. I took the plant out immediately because I didn't know if could be harmful so I have it in a bowl right now and nothing has changed looks wise.

I am not sure what that is? But i doubt it is harmful. Could you just scrape/rinse it off and put it back into the tank?

 

[sully]

Yeah I could but if it is eggs I kinda want to see what it is. The only thing I can think of that as been in my tank recently is a galaxy rasbora but it was only in there for a few minutes and it was way too cold for it so it hid and wasn't anywhere near the plant. It would just be nice to know what it is and I'm glad to know that it's not harmful.
