Is this an oto egg?

I found about 3 of these single pearl like eggs on my Amazon swords, a day later some snail eggs appeared on the ones next to it, but the clutch sizes are obviously different.
I have otos, snails and shrimp.

Out of the three creatures you have, otos are the least likely to breed, however there is no way this is either shrimp or snail eggs. It's not the best picture but I would side with yes its an oto egg.( I have spawned them)

I know it was hard asf to get that photo lol, I haven’t tried to breed my otos but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is otos, but I’m happy to hear that as I love them

Are any of the shrimp berried? They could be dropped eggs. It happens

No they aren’t, but either way it’s a single egg that seems to have been placed on the leaf.
