I came home today to find the surface of my tank full of what I originally thought were air-bubbles. After looking more closely, it seems pretty clear that they're honey gourami eggs being guarded by one of the honeys I've had for awhile. I'm assuming yesterday's water-change must have prompted the spawning. Having never had this happen before, I have some questions:
-Would a spawning happen without fertilization? I've never figured out the sexes of my honeys, so what are the chances these eggs never develop?
-Also in the tank are zebra danios, a male dwarf flame gourami, and some cories. No one seems to be bothering the eggs right now, but do I need to worry that they'll become snacks soon?
-What should I do going forward? Do I separate the eggs from the rest of the tank now, or wait until there are fry?
