What do fan-tail goldfish eggs and newborn fish look like?

Question

I have two goldfish that I previously thought were both male, and if not that I at least assumed they were too young to breed (I only got the second one in October, though I don't know how old it was before that). But yesterday I discovered a handful of tiny transparent fish swimming around in the fishtank.

If they aren't baby goldfish I don't know what they could be or where they could have come from. The thing is fantail goldfish are plump and short with a fancy tail, but the baby fish were elongated, though otherwise hard to make out.

I also found little white spheres on one of the plants in the far corner of the tank.

So just to verify, could someone show or describe to me what goldfish eggs and newborn fantail goldfish would look like?
