Looks like snail eggs to me. What kind of snails do you have? Cerith?

One of my Ceriths just laid eggs the other day but they don't look like that...

I always thought astrea snails were broadcast spawners, not egg layers.

i have no clue. i got them from drfs. does anyone know what will come of these? this is the first time i have encountered this. is it worth keeping around and is there anything that i can do to help them. how long is the incubation period? i have only had them for about 3 months and i think i already have some new snails about.

thanks,

troy

I had the same thing start a couple of weeks ago and I now have really small astrea (I think) all over the place. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

If they look like these, collonista snails. Harmless grazers.

i have seen some small snails cruising around the tank. my wife says they did not come with the order so they must be new babys but their shells look completely different than anything else i have in the tank. this weekend i noticed some small individual eggs on the glass as well and some more strands on my overflow. this is pretty cool and just another reason for my obsession with this hobby.
