Who did the Damsel mate with ???

[fishlife4life]

Noticed today that my Damsel is watching over eggs that are on the back glass of the tank, The funny thing is that i only have one Damsel and shes been in the tank for over a year and the only fish in the tank are as follows: Clown tang, Snowflake clown, Sailfin tang, Watchman Goby, Foxface. So who did the Domino Damsel mate with?????

Fish don't do woopee

Fish don't do woopee

So the Damsel can drop eggs solo ??

Most likely non fertilized eggs. Ive had freshwater fish do this in the past. If by some strange miracle they ARE fertile, dont forget clowns are in the same family as damsels. Unlikely, but not impossible.

Ok, should i leave the eggs as they are or remove them ? Had the Damsel in the tank for over 10 years and this is a first.

I once had an fresh water angel fish and she laid eggs all by herself...Of course just smoke but no fire....

thinking if i should remove the eggs or just leave it as fish food for the other fish, Damsel is very aggressive and don't want anther fish to get attacked or killed.

I would. ... even remove the damsel..

If they are not fertile, they will start to fungus over and turn white. She'll most likely just eat them.

Yeah, they will be non fertilized eggs, just leave them in there, she will eat them.
