Yes i do have snails. MTS, ramshorn, and recently a new nerite snail. The older snails dont make eggs like that, but apparently nerite eggs fit the description. Thanks! Kind of weird that it came with the new driftwood and stayed around until now though lol But it was in a tank before so i guess a coincidence
And im stumped on how it could be water quality. Consistantly stayed at or below 5ppm nitrates at all time, changing out 30% or so of water a week. My plants spent most of the time bottoming out the nitrates. No amonia or nitrite aside from a hint here and there from adding new fish (less than .25ppm) and this only ever lasted a matter of days before i tested and dealt with it. Im thinking it might be due to my tetras stressing them out and nipping them since they stay at the bottom of the tank as well. And the fungus a result of the stress and open wounds. Right now they are alone in my 10g quarantine being treated with an api fungus treatment and if they recover well they will join my girlfriend's pandas in her tank instead since they appear to be doing good there. I dont see any fungus on the survivors, but they arent eating :/
