I got EGGS. What are they?

[Surprise_Clown_Loach]

Brought some hornwort home from the LFS yesterday and today i notice some eggs!

Sorry for the poor pictures.

Maybe 1/4 inch. Max.

.... hard to tell from the pick, but I'd keep this stem in a Q-tank until they hatch... unless you know something I don't, I think those could be pond snail eggs... and I doubt very much you want to purposely put those in your tank.

I wouldn't doubt snails. Pond snails are bad? (searching now..) Any info is welcomed!

Clown loaches eat snails? I've a clown loach. Worth the chance??

snails, like most things, are good in moderation. pond snails have a tendency to take over a tank, hence why people don't want anything to do with them. clown loaches do eat them, so you could just see what happens.

I would let your loach eat the snails, IF they are snail eggs! If they're not, I'm sure your fish will eat them anyway. Hope they don't have diseases o_0

 

[Surprise_Clown_Loach]

Oh, Diseases would bring the suck pretty hard.

Well, the eggs have "disappeared". Probably a fat meal for one of the fish. May have fallen off??

I'll keep updating if anything new arises.

(We did ask the LFS about the safety of adding the hornwort directly to the tank. Their answer was it would be fine.. So we shall see)

pond snails aren't bad, but you need to be carefull that their numbers don't explode.
