What could this be? Eggs of something?

I just saw this just now, snaped a photo, and dont know what it could be. I'm looking, and it looks like eggs of somehting. 4 sites of these on the glass, cant see anthing else well. the 55 gallon is new, been running for almost 3 weeks, and had fish in for a week.5 at this time i am unable to identify anthihing else in the tank. i.e. worms... any thoughts? thank you![/img]

From what I can see, all the "eggs" are on a plant leaf?

If they are, then they may very well be snail eggs. Snail eggs as they tend to hitchhike on new plants, especially swords.

I know it looks like that, but they are on the glass. My sword has been int the tank for 2 weeks now. and I did notice just 3 days ago the 10 gal is out breaking with some small snail looking thing, almost liike a miniature slug... very small like a nemotode. I could see how with all the decor and the plant moved over, they could have come, but i dont know...

I also tried to remove the eggs physicaslly from the glass, they are attached pretty good.

I have snail eggs all over the glass on my tanks. They put them everywhere nowadays. Looks just like that!

will i see them crawling around? will fig 8 puffer eat them?

Puffers love snails from what I've heard, love right out of their shells

 

[youronlysin]

Yep. Puffer will most likely eat them. If you have a puffer in the tank, then where did snail eggs come from? Do you still have snails in the tank?

 

[thetmaxx]

its a new tank, and I haven't seen any worms or snails yet .

Well, if your two bronze corys happen to be a male/female, could be cory eggs, no? From what I understand most cory species commonly deposit eggs on the sides of the aquarium glass. Did you happen to first notice them the day after a water change? I have read that people who are trying to get corys to spawn often achieve success by doing a water change with the water temp a little below ambient tank temp, then the next morning they have cory eggs all over.

Hmm...a mystery! Please keep us posted.

 

[thetmaxx]

hmm, they do seem fond of each other.... but the water change was before this a week or so... could be though? i haven't seen any fry... or anything yet. I think another patch of eggs apeared this morinign, but cant remember if they were there from b4, however what else could lay this many eggs, if i cant even see it?
