@angell,
Sounds like it. Here's a picture for comparison:

@angell,
Why do you want to get them out?

I'm not sure what kind of aquarium setup you have, but I'd probably use water changes to do that.

Goldfish are very protective of their young and will attack anyone who comes near! Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Yeah, if you want to raise the goldfish you don't want to move the eggs. You can either move the adults or provide more cover for the eggs (more plants etc).

The first question at the above link deals with this, if the explanation is hard to understand here's a photo of what it's talking about with the gill covers:

I had a bunch of fish and we had one big goldfish and one big angelfish, the angelfish would always lay eggs, and the goldfish would eat them. hah. The eggs probably won't even hatch. And the fish can eat the eggs it's not like it will hurt them. I've had fish basically my whole life, and not once have any of the eggs actually hatched.
