I know the photos arent tge best but it was very hard to focus with the condensation on the glass. I just randomly noticed them both in my tank and have no idea what they are.

Hmm. Maybe food scraps? Did you feed anything that looks like that recently?

If they were more symmetrical I'd think they were insect eggs or casings, but they're kinda lumpy, so I'm also going to go with food scraps.

Are they food mites? If so, they are harmless. They eat leftover food.
