General Care Discussion :: Fish eggs?

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Thu Nov 02, 2006 7:57 pm   Fish eggs?

(if this is not right for this section, transfer at will) well there are two fish left over from the time they went in to meet their doom. but somehow have survived. Now, one month later, there are these gelatin-like things with pink centers.Now, a few days later, the things seem to have ruptured and the little pink balls have popped out. could these be eggs? i thought that eggs came in batches, but i dont know about rosey reds...

No, she can't. You think this is from your turtle? A pic would help...

This is the best pic i could get. since all the others are tucked away from sight. all i get are glimpses when the fake plants sway in the water. Like i said, the eggs or whatever the heck they are "popped" and the pink insides fell to the ground. Now they seem to have come back up (ive got a few under the turtle turf that i have) that have risen and i think i see ball forms. (i cant post the new sets since my camera broke). Sry for the size. dunno how to change it. :roll:

That looks like a decomposing fish head pointed up. It could also be something else decomposing since its in a unreachable area.

Here is what I believe rosy red eggs look like:
