Hey everyone. Finally came around to making an account since this happened and I'm not sure what to do. The only pair of fish I have are bangai cardinals and I was not expecting them to become a breeding pair. Guess I should have been paying more attention.

Should I just leave them there on the sand, or should I take them out and put them in a breeder box? And what about the parents? I've read that the male is supposed to have the eggs in his mouth to incubate, so its strange that its just on the sand.

Also take a look at the attached image as I am pretty sure they are eggs but I could be wrong. Thanks and I appreciate any advice.

They look like banggai eggs, its common for the Male not to carry the eggs to "full term" 20-28 days especially in young pairs. it is possible to hatch the eggs in an egg tumbler.
