Talking HELP NEEDED: Koi eggs found on filter wool

Hi fellow buddies

I just took my filter out to wash and discovered there were koi eggs on the wool of the filter.

How do i know if the eggs has not spoilt and how should i take care of the eggs I dun think there are mani eggs left....probably eaten up or something. The eggs are opaque in colour ... Not sure when it was laid

Here are some pictures:







** Btw my kois are only abt 15cm ... not sure how old ... will its length affect the hatch rate of the eggs? I got my kois at nkf ... so far it has been with me for abt 7mths

Bro...not sure whether you should focus on the egg or the tank.
Usually after spawning, the ammonia level will be very high, that explain the smell.

Better if you can change water substantially, otherwise the koi inside mayhave problem.

And Bro Sgbetta is right....you must have gotten some mature mini koi, that explained the spawning.
