White dots- Snail eggs?

[tent boy]

I know that you want pictures, but hopefully I don't need to do that cause I dont know how. Anyways I have all these white dots on the back glass. They are not zig zag. Just individual round white eggs. I am sure they are snail eggs though. Question is do I need to get rid of these or will they get eaten? My concern is that I will have too many snails. Is the egg production going to continue until I have a tank of snails. I am happy with my current number of snails.

what kinds of snails do you have?

their population(s) in a healthy system are usually kept in check by the amount of food available so I don't think you should be too concerned.

Got my daughter to post a picture. Astrea or turbos are hanging on the back glass. Is it them? I have many other kinds but I think these are the ones on the glass.

Do you have any nerite snails in there?? Looks like exactly what I have in my tank and I'm almost positive they are from the nerite snails I added. Take a look at my thread for some close up shots of the eggs.

Yes I think that is it. I see a couple of those on the back glass also. Did yours grow up or did they get eaten? I dont need that many snails.

I'm guessing they may have gotten eaten, not sure though. I never see the fish pick at them, yet I don't see an abundance of snails in my tank. Although, they could be there and just be too small to see at this point in their life.
