What is this on the side of my tank? Fish eggs?

Hi guys, I'm need to this hobby so don't hate haha.
Can someone tell me what this is on the glass of my tank, my first thought was fish eggs as i have them on the other side of the tank (first picture) there off my yellow damsels. but the second picture is what i'm not sure of? :rollface:

Looks like snail eggs to me. Definitely not fish eggs, sadly. Some guys on here are really good at saying which snail they belong to as well.

Thanks for the quick rely Kevin, do you know much about the damsel eggs? is there any point in trying to raise them? i have heard that it's extremely difficult to.

The second pic is sail eggs for sure. Looks like it might be nassarious snail eggs to me. I've had them reproduce frequently in my tank before. Seemed like twice a week.

definitely snail eggs

Like I stated above, they are snail eggs, not damsel eggs. Nothing you need to do about them.

I was actually on about the damsel eggs as stated above pictured in photo 1. But I'll go elsewhere for that. Thanks everyone

Gotcha, I am not sure if they are damsel eggs or not. What I do know is if it is, they would be extremely difficult to raise. You would need to create something similar to what people do for clowns and create a culture of brine to feed the fry. Thats saying you can get the eggs out safely in a separate tank. Go to the breeding forum on here and seek their opinions. I am sure someone can help.

Exactly what kind of snails/fish do you have in your tank?

That second picture looks like the eggs from one of those larger Tongan Nassarius snails. The first picture appears to be Damsel eggs IMO. I did a quick search and found some pretty convincing pictures.
