    Found this under the young leaf of a Java Fern. Looks like an egg to me but of which type of fish? Or it is just some abnormal growth on the plant? The size is slightly bigger than 1 mm. What should I do with it to keep it alive? This is the only 1 I found so far and I never notice any pregnant fish.

    I have the following fauna in this tank.
    1. Cherry Barb
    2. Harlequin Rasbora
    3. Zebra Danio
    4. Pristella Tetra
    5. Neon Tetra
    6. Albino & Leopard Cory

    After some googling, it seems to be from the cory which they always like to hang around there. They will eat up almost all of their eggs and this morning when I check, it is gone! Someone might have had it for breakfast.

    Don't be sad. It looks unfertilise to me.

    Hmmm, how to differentiate fertilize and unfertilized?

    i believe if the egg is fertilized, you'd see something inside the egg...
