What the **** is this?

What the **** is it? It wasn't there at night that's for sure. Water parameters are perfect, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, ph 8.2, temp 78-79.
I had it once a fewmonths back and couldnt take a picture. It scraped off and looked like a lifeless worm that wasn't moving.

Holy snail trail. Surprised I have seen any in mine yet.

Your snail ate too many SillyBandz and now it's pooping them out.

ROFLMFAO!! :lmao:
Thats too funny!!

Honestly, i thought it was a worm of some sort I was pretty grossed out. I knew I wasn't trippin when i saw a baby snail on the glass. It was about 1mm, I thought i was imagining it. lol (few months back)


Do I just leave it ...or scrap it off? If i do a water change and it drops the water level, are the eggs going to die?

I'd rather they hatch though, free snails.

 

[thebkramer]

I say leave it.. free food for all your other tenants Maybe 1 or 2 might make it!

not too many hatch in captivity, just leave it, the crabs and fish will take care of it for you.

another reason to keep a refugiem free of omnivores, having snails that will lay eggs have a safe place for their young to mature and become useful parts of your tank. If they're in the tank they are doomed anyways.

 

[kettlecorn]

Hahah sweet thanks for the help. I'll leave it and see what happens.

very common for ceriths to lay eggs. i'd throw a couple down in your fuge like others have said and let em breed away without the threat of predation
