Are these eggs?

I have this thing in my tank, and for lack of a better discription it looks like a translucent white long poo, but it looks to me like it has eggs in it maybe
Can eggs come in that form?

now how do i fix it

Without seeing it, it sounds to me like a poop from a fish infected with parasites. This is commonly known as a "stringy white poo".

When my betta had parasites, I used "Jungle Internal Parasite Guard" to cure her. I had to do two courses of this med, and after that she was back to normal.

Follow the directions carefully.

Just be sure we're talking about parasites, here's my betta with her stringy white poop. Gross, I know, but you need to be positive your fish have parasites before treating them.

Is this what you're seeing?

You need to treat the whole tank. If you have charcoal in the filter, you'll need to remove it during treatment.
