Had googled tat mandarin fish eggs are free floating and watched videos during the eggs releasing process.

Yesterday my mandarins were piaking n gave out I suppose eggs n sperm. But contrary to the eggs being transparent, I saw white "seed(0.5mm)" encased in a transparent jelly, machiam frogs egg. There are also some transparent jelly without the white seed.

I suppose I need to scoop out those jelly masses with white seeds only.

The question is how long I should wait before I do tat so tat I will not disrupt the fertilization of the eggs.

Thanks.
