Louise02 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 We have a basic 10-gallon with crushed coral that has been up and running for about a year. We recently ordered rice shrimp and two mystery snails for this tank. Everything seemed to be going very well, but now we have several round, translucent clutches of tiny eggs (smaller than nerite) adhered to the glass, well below the water line. There are at least nine of them all in one corner of the aquarium. Does anyone have any idea what on earth this might be? I don't want something to hatch and kill everything in the aquarium. Help? Thank you! Wait...they might be ramshorn eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. Payne Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 If you are overfeeding they can be prolific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWilk Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Ramshorn snails are harmless. So are the rest of the pest snails. If your mystery snails are a breeding pair, you'll end up with a ton of snails anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
