rascalflattsfan@charter.netOne day when i was looking in the back of my tank and there was little clear things with black things that were between the undergravel filter plate and the glass. Are these eggs or not becuase know they are not there, but i know that the fish can not get there becuase they have tried but have not been successful. I do not see any little fish, but how big are the fish when they first hatch and are they able to come out from under the rocks? Will they hide in the cave or plants or the bosni tree that i have? How do i know if the eggs are fertile becuase i have had some cloudiness to my water here in the pass 2 weeks even after i change the water. HELP HELP!! Are these eggs? and if so are they fertile? You can e-mail me or just post the reply on here.

it'd be hard to say without a picture. are you sure they're not snails? i know when my snail had babies they looked like tiny clear bubbles with a slight coloration in the center the size of a needle point.

Well i did a water change today and noticed nothing unnormal so i think it was just some poop or something, but if i find anything, then i will keep you updates and thanks for replying so fast.

eggs are the size of sesame seeds if you detect them in the tank, either quarentine the eggs or parents + larger fish IF you want them and have space for `em

Well how big are the fish when they like first hatch? Are the hard to find or will they go hide under the shell that is open so only little fish can go in there or will they go hide in the plants?

I have about 5 plants in there and it is a 10 gallon!!!!!! I have 3 common goldfish in there becuase when i had my 5 gallon i had 5 in there and they did fine and i have seen the fish, they have a lot of room to swim becuase they are little ones. Please do not tell me that i have a over populated tank. When i woke up the next morning i noticed that i had a little tan shelled snail in my tan, so that might have been it becuase i have a tan snail in there!!!
