The eggs look like masses of gellatin spheres that stick to the sides of the tank at water's egde. You need to have about at least 5 in. deep of water before they will feel able to lay. The inside of the eggs will be a charcol/grey color and within a day-4 you will see movement inside the gellatinous sack. At end of day four they will start to emerge as a strange flat looking tad that you might think look to be more like a flatworm(They will fill out in just a day when they start to eat). The white fluffy stuff doesn't sound like eggs. Plus they most likely will stay stuck together in amplexus for days before anything happens. She might be kicking him off because you might not have the right laying site for her.
