can anybody identify this??

[westernpilot]

the image Attached is of something that almost looks like eggs of some sort. It just appeared today while I was gone. Is this something I should be worried about or no?

Perhaps a better picture because these look like air bubbles to me.

 

[westernpilot]

heres the best picture i could get. when you touch them they are firm and well attached. plus they are in strings

Are they in your tank? Do you have snails?

 

[westernpilot]

yes and yes. I have a couple margarita snails, a couple nassarius snails and two astrea snails in my 60 gallon.

Looks like snail eggs?

 

[TimeConsumer]

I agree on snail eggs.

Thanks guys. I ended up removing them from the tank. I read things online about it and I didn't want any problems. Thanks for you help!

Snails, limpets, copepods and amphipods breed all over my tank, and at 1.50 apiece, I do welcome the replenishment of the CUC. Unfortunately I lost my bristleworms in a prolonged cold power-out, but they are another that will happily reproduce; I'm looking to get some more.

So if i see something like this in the near future should I let them grow?

That's pretty sweet. The only thing that breeds in my tank successfully are Stomatella snails, but I'm not complaining :dance:
