I noticed my pair swimming in their "spot" and they were picking at these white spots on the silicone. Are these eggs? Not trying to breed them bc I know it's a process. Just wondering if they finally mated after being together for over 6 years, or maybe this is the first time I've noticed. da86eb89d39022f6f653010ab559b2d6.jpg

Looks like they very well could be. The male should often mess with them if so.

Well I'm unsure of which is which honestly they both kinda pick on each other. The midnight seems to hang around that area and the WW comes and seems to pick at them like it's eating them. Idk lol

That looks like calcium carbonate build up to me. Eggs are orange when they lay them down.
Sometimes they will pick at a spot in an attempt to clean it up so they can lay eggs there. But that's not eggs.
