Are these eggs or something else?

Just discovered these in my tank. Have attached photos - sorry for dodgy quality. They are oval shaped, 2 millimetres long, attached to a live plant with a thread. They look like eggs but there are only 5 of them in the whole tank.

The only fish we have in pairs are Angel Fish (not aggressive to the other fish so I assume not a romantic pair), Bristlenose Catfish (I assume both are male as both have decent bristles, and they lay eggs in a crevase), Clown Loaches (don't breed in captivity) and Rummy-nosed Tetras (Tetra eggs are apparently microscopic).

We are beginning to get a bit of algae in the tank but this doesn't look like the algae which is a furry covering on some plant leaves.

Can anyone enlighten me please?

All suggestions gratefully received.

Sorry to let you down, but no, those are pieces of fish poop. I get those all the time.

Good morning,

I agree with Henri. Looks like fish poo to me too.

Not let down - I was prepared for that slightly embarrassing response, just have't seen them hanging off plants before. Thought it better safe than sorry to ask. Thanks for your prompt assistance.

You are right, it is always better to ask and be sure than not ask and have something go wrong. The only dumb question is the one that goes un-answered because it was never asked.
