Guppysnail Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Those are either bladder or pond snail eggs. Possibly ramshorn but I’ve never intentionally kept ramshorn so can’t confirm. Cute nosey CPD 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water changes are a pain as between the nanos coming to be nosey and the angels begging for food, I am afraid I will suck one of them up lol. I do have ramshorn in there, some pinks and blues, so might get rid as I don't want an explosion of snails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOtrees Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 They look exactly like ramshorn eggs to me. Ramshorn eggs are in a flattish cluster (eggs all laid in one layer, with the outside ring being very circular like your pics), while pond snail eggs are in jelly-like clusters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had 1 loss because one extra chunky guppy did not fit through the hole. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Duck Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) 100% those are snail eggs, likely ramshorn, possibly bladder. Edited May 13 by Odd Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Ramshorn Snail eggs (about a day or two from hatching out). Egg cluster is flat, single layered.

My Bladder snail eggs (two different angles of same cluster). Egg cluster is rounded, eggs in multiple layer. Edited May 13 by FLFishChik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comradovich Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I was going to say that those looked like Ramshorn egg cases to me. (Of which my three remaining Ramshorns have helpfully provided me with a few for comparison). I wish my bladder snails were leaving me those clusters like @FLFishChik has. We're down to one or two survivors, and those I actually see working. Unlike my curly brown freeloaders, who just muscle into my fish/shrimp food and leave me presents all over the glass.

Are your Bladder snails in a separate tank or in the same tank as Ramshorn? I have my Ramshorn in a 3g by themselves and my Bladders are in a 5g to themselves. I do purposefully feed the snails : times a week alternating sinking wafers and a Repashy mix. I also leave the lights on full blast for 14 hours a day to encourage algae growth, but they keep it near absent. The bladders seem to love the Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus to lay eggs on.

Shadow Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 I just have Ramshorn and they are all leaving eggs constantly 🤣 Now that I know what they look like, I have been able to spot them. I just get rid of the ones I am able to see, as I am sure there are plenty I cannot. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
