    looks like eggs to me too! you'll never have to buy another snail again - well unless they get eaten

    Yup. Eggs indeed. They'll stick to the glass for a while, unless removed. When it happened in my tank, my banggai cardinals wolfed them down like French Toast after I scraped them off the glass.

    They must be very nutritious.

    Yeah, they are found out last night on the net. What do I do? Let the fish eat them? Will any survive?
