they look fertile. give them a few days and see if they hatch :)

its odd that the female is in there though, the male should be guarding that opening.

Very odd place to lay eggs! If the sponge filter was running after the photo chances are the eggs were torn apart by the current. They could have been eaten also. If the eggs were not good they would have turned white after a few days.

Chanced are small to find them in the tank - sorry.
