What kind of aquarium community fish lay their eggs in a string?

My aquarium has rasporas, snails, loach, molly, and pleco. This morning, I found an inch long string waving in the water. At first, I thought it was waste, but along the string every mm or so, there is a small white oval (i'm assuming it is an egg). What fish (or snail) eggs could this string be?
Mollies are live bearers, which means they give birth to live babies. What kind of snails do you have? Some snails lay underwater, but the most common snails (Mystery Snails aka Apple Snails genre) lay above water in clumps.
Loaches and Plecos (esp. plecos) are usually hard to breed, so I would suspect the Rasporas. Most fish lay eggs in lines, and it could have been they laid eggs, which got knocked off and floated to the top. I’m not really sure, but the main candidate would be the Rasporas.
