Egg ID. WARNING-they're square.

Whatever they are, there's a lot of them! They are all festooned along the plant leaves....

I'm guessing it's whatever kind of snail you have in the tank. It's obviously not the RCS. What are the inhabitants of the tank and how long have the plants with eggs been in that tank?

I can't wait for you to find out what they are...how interesting looking.

Some smarty-pants on another list found out they are the eggs of the Anentome helenas ("Assassin snails") I have in the tank. You can see one in the bottom right corner of the picture.

To illustrate what an expert I am on these snails, I thought they were livebearers. Thus ruled them out as the perps. DUH.

The eggs are really cool!

Like I said earlier. I saw the snail in the bottom right and thought it might be an assassin snail but wasn't sure if you had a snail problem or not so I didn't know if they were in fact assassins.

so tell us do they kill other snails like I read?

They find ramshorn, MTS, pond snails and apple snails quite delicious. They also eat any ol' kind of fish food, and today are climbing the glass (which they rarely do) to get at some spinach!
