those eggs are so annoying, they are all over my overflow, power-heads and rocks.
Same goes for my cerith snails, they keep f'king up my tank along the sandbed/glass.
I don't know if all these eggfest are good for my tank or not.

 

[Bertdog]

have you done anything about them?

Just wait till they hatch, and they are all over the place.

no, nothing yet. Don't really know what to do at this point. I'm sure they probably aren't good for the tank though.

They don't hatch, at least for me. The just fall off and leave a ring in place of the egg shell.

It is very rare for them to hatch and survive.if theirs some infront of my tank i usually scrape them off wirh a razor blade.

If you dose iodine some will most likely hatch.

 

[Bertdog]

i don't dose iodine and i don't think its safe to scrape it off the clam . so lets see if they hatch , i just hope that they don't and just fall off.

they will, usually in 2 weeks. besides you don't have much, but check anything plastic to see if its on there as well.
