they look fertile. give them a few days and see if they hatch :)

its odd that the female is in there though, the male should be guarding that opening.

Think the eggs were not fertilized
Cant see the eggs anymore but the male is still in there , ill have to remive the aponge filter yo prevent future spawning on that site :)

But
Ill double check might be the eggs became fries and swam away?:)

Very odd place to lay eggs! If the sponge filter was running after the photo chances are the eggs were torn apart by the current. They could have been eaten also. If the eggs were not good they would have turned white after a few days.

Chanced are small to find them in the tank - sorry.
