Eggs....Now what....Are my other fish going to eat them???

I believe they are Yellow Perch eggs...I have Yellow Perch, Green Sunfish, Blue Gill, Longear Sunfish and Pumpkinseed...

I will have to set up a third tank...

Wifes going to love that....

How should I go about removing the eggs, dividing the tank isnt possible and moving fish isnt either...
 
Personally i dont think they will be fertilized. I believe that you maybe caught a female perch with eggs and she released them in the tank when she was introduced. It is season now for them. Did you keep any really chubby perch??
 
Normally perch lay their eggs in ribbons.. but sunfish guard their eggs, so they probably are perch eggs..strange.

I had a couple chubby ones, been trying to find pics of what fertilized ones look like, but really cant find anything I feel are reliable.
