You have a lucky female, many females get egg bound and die if they cannot rid themselves of eggs. She may have also used a different species male (or female for that matter) in the tank to spur on the spawning act. I had 2 female oscars that would regularly lay eggs together, and guard them for a while, at least until fungus would always wipe them out.
The pic makes the eggs very white, which usually is an indication they are not fertile.
