Rich B Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Any ideas what these small specs are on this clay pot? They're beginning to develop on my aquarium glass, plants and just about anywhere else they want to be. I've noticed whatever these are , they're next to impossible to remove without a razor blade. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Do you have a nerite snail in the same tank as that pot? Those look like nerite eggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 As a matter of fact, yes I do have nerite snails in my aquarium. Wow, so these are nerite snail eggs huh? I never would have guessed. Well, obviously then they're not harmful which is what I was most concerned about. My only other question then is, will these eventually disappear? Thank you in advance.

redmare Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 If you have multiple nerites, they'll keep laying eggs 😞 I had several in one tank and they covered the glass, so I scattered them so now I have one nerite in every tank (except the oscar tank lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 They are a pain to remove. I haven't had nerites in a while, maybe a year, but their eggs are still all over the driftwood and even some Malaysian trumpet snails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thank you both Redmare and Aubrey, you've both been a great help and I appreciate it. I love the nerite snails for the work they do, but knowing now the mess they leave behind I think I'll need to re-think whether or not I want to continue keeping nerites. Thanks again .......... Have a great day. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
