It's possibly just bubbles that got attached to the plant...I can't really say.

Only if you dislike snails, I have a few hundred running around my 125 trying to help out the out numbered cats (2 bristle nose and 9 oto's) who just can't eat enough to stay ahead of the algae side note to MDF I do think those lights put it at med high

 

[jetajockey]

definitely pest snail eggs

 

[JavaMoss]

Ok I will take them out when over home. **** it snails.

On the other hand what good can snails do to your tank ?

 

[rich311k]

Pond snails eggs. They eat left over food, some algae and are a great indicator of the amount of food you are feeding. I like them and do not have any issues about having them in my tanks.

 

[JavaMoss]

So I will keep them but are u saying I overfeed

 

[rich311k]

No, if you start to see hundreds of them, then you are over feeding.

 

[JavaMoss]

Ok thanks,

 

[Demonknight]

not necessarily over feeding, but an abundance of food for them, in my tank I just don't h ave enough algae eating fish atm so the snails have plenty to eat.

Silly question, but where do the snails come from?

 

[Demonknight]

most tanks at pet stores have snails, you may just not see them often, so they hitchhike in on plants, or the eggs do which look like the above pic, a clear gel like mass with a few little white spots.
