Hi folks!
I have a bunch of what I assume are snail eggs on my back glass. White specks a little bigger than a grain of sand, but no pattern. Just randomly placed all over. In your experience, are they more likely to hatch or die? I wouldn't mind more snails in my tank, but if they aren't going to hatch, I'd rather scrape them off.
Thanks!
 
I have had same thing happen. A month passed and I was impatient and scared most off. A few weeks later any that were nit scraped off hatched, now I have around 50 baby snails. So chances are they will hatch given enough time.
 
Sometimes people confuse eggs with different types of precipitation. Anyway, if they’re eggs, they’ve been laid elsewhere in your tank besides the glass so no need to avoid scraping your glass clean

I'm pretty sure they're eggs

Most get consumed and more challenging is that many like cerith and nassarius require cooler water at about 72 deg for success rate
