Eggs on glass above water level?

[cntrygirl]

I have a batch of eggs on the glass of my aquarium. Strange thing is its almost an inch above water level. I have neon tetras, guppies, mollies, a snail and a gold fish. So who's eggs do you think they are? Since they're not in water are they no good?

What kind of snail? I think mystery snails lay their eggs above the water line.

I'm not sure what kind it is. I only have one and I've had it a few months. Do they still lay if there's only one?

Ok it has to be the snails eggs. The snail has 4 eggs attached to its shell.

Well, hopefully you don't have a snail population explosion depending on the species. Make sure you're not overfeeding your fish to control those snails. If that doesn't work, you might look into getting an assassin snail.

Snails

I used to have a snail Explosion there were at least 60 snails all over my tank.

Splash tetras do lay eggs above the water line (on overhanging leaves). However, OP has neons.
Mollies are livebearers.

It's the snail most definitely if it's the common snails from petsmart petco. A Lfs ect. Sold as a mystery snail they can lay eggs a couple months after introducing to the aquarium with no other snail present. If you want them to hatch. Damp them with aquarium water from a clean spray bottle and they should hatch fairly quick.

This is an apple snail. If you look under its shell you will see something that looks like a tube that was split in half. Mystery snails don't have that because the tube is used to let the apple snails use its lung instead of its gill.

Thanks! I was just pointing it out because the apple snail is usually sold as a mystery snail.
