snails pods ????

by **Snowboss4492** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 12:26 pm

over the last day or so I've noticed some really small spots on the glass of the tank.....when i look at them from the side of the tank, they seem to be small "pods" hanging off the glass {bout the size of a strawberry seed} ........they are all in lines and are in the area that my Nasarius snails climb up the glass....they are all about 1 inch apart maybe 50-60 spots in all

Are these snail eggs...or some form of snail spawning?

I don't want to clean the glass until i know what im dealing with ...

could be copepods i guess...they are stationary, hooked on the glass like little pieces of fruit or something...i looked up snail breeding habits ....i don't think its that ....prolly pod babies or something....Boss
