Here is my situation: I have a 10g tank. I am kind of cheap, so I
bring plants from ponds/lakes rather than from shops. I have 2 Adult Platies (f and m). 2 Adult Zebra Danios (female and male). I have seen snails coming out of nowhere. I think that is normal because I bring plants fromm wild. But I also found worms on stones and under stones: like ant long, but like 3 hair thin.. I could not catch them. They come out once a while and my fishes don't eat them. Here is the urgent story: Suddently I found so many so many eggs on the inner glass on my tank. I breeded goldfrish before. They look like eggs. But zebra's eggs should fall not hold on glass-- those eggs are not fully and firmly attached to glass, but move along water movement. Platies do not shoot eggs... They are hundreds of those eggs. Most are White transparent, with some with red-brown thing inside. The red-brown is moving!!!! They are coming out. But I don't want to see if so many worms or snails coming out. If they are zebras, then they are great. But I am really afraid, because 1 they are on glass. Should I kill those eggs? What are them? Urgent Help: They are coming out!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

if your fish won't eat them, it can't be too good. Most fish love caviar.
snail eggs are usually a clear jelly like substance w/ little white dots in it. you can't usually see them unless they're outside of water... "Chinadian" wrote in message om...

Have a close look at the worms (with a magnifying glass): Do they have a triangular shaped head with "ears", and 2 eyes that look cross-eyed? If so they are planaria, relatively harmless but bad-tasting, so fishes don't eat them. Feed less and get some gravel-cleaning fishes to reduce their food supply.

Again it is probably worthwhile to have a close look at the eggs and try to identify what is moving inside. A stereo microscope is ideal, you could approach a local microscopy society or biology teachers. In snail eggs you actually se little snails (even with shell), similarly in fish eggs there should be a little fish inside. |
