identifying the subject
My female betta just dropped a bunch of stuff, I'm guessing they're eggs. Never had any of my other bettas do this before. What's the deal with these things?

They resemble snail eggs, probably not what you're looking for, but that's my guess.

I was wondering, do you have a nerite snail in your tank?

No I don't keep a nerite snail. The weird thing is, these things just dropped out of her, like she was laying something, but it didn't resemble waste at all - it was more like she was releasing something that had been inside her.

It's definitely possible that they're expelled eggs. I've seen something similar with my gouramis - their eggs have a similar shape and are very white. Check out the video, kips to around 1:08.

I'm not sure, but maybe they're really eggs after all.

Considering the similarity between gouramis and bettas, it's likely the eggs share some resemblance.

I'm inclined to think they're eggs, the picture seems to suggest that, but I'm not entirely sure what else it could be.
