Chad Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I was hoping more experienced eyes might know what these little semi-opaque blobs stuck to the inside of my aquarium glass are? I would've guessed snails but bladder snail eggs don't look like that. Could there be a trumpet snail or 3 (million) that only come out at night hiding in my aquarium? I'm stumped.

Expectorating_Aubergine Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 It looks like some kind of algae.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does rub off fairly easily but stays together, kind of like rubber cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expectorating_Aubergine Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) I have algae like that that grows in my high humidity terrariums. Perhaps it's the same thing? Perhaps it's bubble algae.... Edited January 17, 2023 by Expectorating_Aubergine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Very interesting, never seen this before. Seems to pop up overnight. Figured it was eggs or an organism of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraped 4 off last week, found about 3-4 on there this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) You might have to meet bob the sponge. I am very unsure of what that is, but.... reminds me of this thing. Edited January 18, 2023 by nabokovfan87 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hmm, that might be it @nabokovfan87. I'll let one grow out a bit and see what happens. Mine are too small to say for sure at this time but if it does grow a bit I'll let you all know. Crazy, a freshwater sponge?! Thanks for the help everybody! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMongler Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 It's definitely not Malaysian Trumpet Snail eggs. They are live bearers, and don't lay eggs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Thanks for that info @RockMongler. I didn't know that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
