Help ID mystery "eggs"

well thats good cause now the whole tank is covered, soon as i stock it with fish they will hopefully get rid of them.

Those eggs are hard for some fish to remove. If I were you, just scrape them off or leave them to dissolve.

yeah its not so much on the glass as the rocks, but i'm not really too concerned. Found a big mess of apple snail eggs today during water change, they had all already dried out though. I think the PC bulbs fried them.

That's a shame. Do you plan to breed them?

didnt really plan on it, I kinda expected the cichlids I'm gunna add to wipe them all out. But i may separate the apple snails and let them breed, would a 10 gallon be large enough?

Yep. Should be enough although the resulting babies will eventually require added tanks as apple snails are heavy poo machines. Leave 2-3 inches space above the waterline for them to lay eggs on.

i have a dozen or so tanks with plenty algae for the babies to eat.

infusoria (or whatever)?
free floating algae, AKA Green Water?

How would they fair in a pond? Plenty of green in there.

If it doesn't get cold there nor too warm, it'll be fine. I'd keep them in a temperature range of 18-24 degrees Celsius (64-76 degrees Fahrenheit).

humm that may be a problem, how long do they need green water?
