I've had a male and female jack dempsey in a tank together and all of a sudden they are acting real weird.... I Think they are laying eggs! My female keeps going around the tank, stopping for a little bit and then moves somewhere else.. And then my male comes where she just was and hovers.. He also has something coming out of him that I've never seen before and it's clear and hanging.. I don't know what the eggs are supposed to look like., how big they are.. If they are laying eggs what color are they... I have tan sand in my tank. Please can someone help me figure this out.. Thanks oh Ya they are in a tank alone.. Flower pot and flat rock.

The top one is what I thought to be an egg and the bottom photo is of my male jack dempsey with unknown something hanging

It looks like you fish are getting ready to spawn. Here is a video of jack dempseys breeding:
In the picture, you can see the fish's breeding tube has dropped. Eggs are tan to light brown.
awsome thank u so much for that.. Although I still didn't see any eggs lol! Gosh are they like extremely small or something?
 
can't tell a thing from those pics, but it sounds like you might be onto breeding; good luck!
Lol Thanks... Ya I'm sorry about the pictures I I didn't want to disturb what they were doing... Does anyone have any idea how big the eggs are.. Or what color
 
Ok this is what I was able to gather up.. I literally can't tell cuz of my sand but then there is the tree they like in the middle of my tank.. And I found this.
