Sadly I'm fairly certain Neons are egg scatterers...so a bunched group of eggs like that is unlikely Snails however...

Mystery snails lay eggs out of water so check the hood of your tank, also lowering the water level will encourage them to lay eggs.

Dec 18, 2012 #11 Aquatic_Adam Aquarium Advice Addict Joined Jan 12, 2011 Messages 1,948 Location Raleigh, NC Sadly Neons will not eat them. Your best bet is to reach in there and smish the eggs. As cruel as that sounds.
