White spots, eggs? on glass and plants!
I have bright white spots on my glass and plants. They are decent sized, and arent part of the plants, but on top of them. They are also on top of the glass (inside). They are about the size of my gourami's eye to give you a realistic size. And are actually about the same size. What the heck are these things? They don't move, and when I scrape them off with my fingernail, they are pretty light, but they leave a small white residue still on the glass and plant that I cant get off! GRRR
Help please? FYI- Check my info for what plants/inverts/fish I have. Thanks everyone! Andy |

Is there a fish that will eat those, and how do I get rid of them? (including the residue left behind) Here are some pics of it on plants.  |

Botias will eat the eggs, probably the snails too. Switch from nerites it brigs? At least they lay eggs above the water line, and are easy to control.
