Are these eggs??

Harris3005 · Dec 3, 2016

Morning everyone,

So I went to clean my glass this morning but thought I'd have a quick look at it up close first and I notice what looks like eggs on the front glass? I took some pics with a macros lens and I took some pics of pods with the same lens for scale. Anyone have any idea what they could be?
Thanks!

Pods:

What kind of snails do you have?
There were probably more, fish might have had lil' snack ... free food
Looks like snail eggs to me ...

Thanks for replying so fast! I have trochus and cerith snails in there at the moment. Could I move them to an empty qt tank and see if they hatch?

Hmmmmm, that I am not so sure of, sorry.

I leave for the fish to snack on.

No, they won't hatch if you move them.

Ok I'll leave them where they are and see what happens. Thanks for letting me know mate!

That's not an egg. Now, this is an egg.

Probabaly trochus eggs. They lay so much your tank will explode with free CUC. My tank has had like 3/4 explosions already

So I've started to see a few of these in the tank, they are tiny and again the pic was taken with a macro lens. Any ideas what they could be? Could they be the result of these eggs?
