Black Moor Eggs??

23 11:04:20

Question
This morning, I went to check on my Black Moor. I noticed some small, clear white, pebble-like things in the bottom amongst the gravel and some stuck to the wall. Are these eggs? If so, will they hatch or do they need to be inseminated? Also, do I just rinse the bead like things down the sink when I clean out the tank?

Answer
Hi Emery,
 They sound like they could be eggs, but they will not develop unless they were fertilized by a male.  They will dissolve after a few days.
