Anyone know what’s going on with my Yellow Lab cichlid?

I was recently feeding one of my yellow labs and I noticed when it got scared from me moving it darted and dropped what looks like eggs. It looks like gravel but it’s not and sunk kinda slowly any ideas? I don’t think it’s eggs because I currently have I amuse him separated because of aggression with a barrier in the tank.

I wouldn’t be mad about if their were fry I have only 2 in my 55 with a divider because fully grown yellow labs run $30 each and I don’t want to get rid of these 2 adults because I had them for 3 years and I’ve became attached to them but If I find small ones I’ll definitely buy them.

How long is awhile and what kind of divider?  Is it possible it's holding unfertilized eggs for some extended period of time?  I do not recall all the intricacies of yellow lab breeding as it's been about 20 years since I kept any and I only ever accidentally bred them.

They have had a egg crate divider in for a year and and half. I had to move them out of it because my old 55 was leaking and had to put one in a 10 and one on a 27 gal tote for like a Week until I bought a new tank. like 3 months ago but they have been in a divided 55 for like a year and a half besides that move. Also it didn’t seem to holding the eggs. Has been eating every day and looks normal.
