Are they layed in clumps? What type of snails do you have? If you've got ramshorn snails and they're in clumps in the water than you've probably got snail eggs biggrin.gif

ot oh. You have snail eggs. If you want some more that is fine but if you don't you need to hurry up and remove them .

Yeah, those are physid (pond snail) eggs. They do reproduce very quickly! I had them completely take over a 10 gallon in a matter of months. Mine tended to lay them in the corners of the tank where they were especially hard to get to! You will need to scrape them off and remove them.
