    if freshwater/brackish..........i would say definately snail eggs. Freshwater snails tend to breed very fast!

    Could be hydra. Bad if you have fry but should die out if they do not get enough food.

    To be honest, I can't see anything in the pix. I think your phone/camera is too close to the subject to focus on anything (closer than the camera's min. focusing distance).

    Try to find your critter here:
