What could this be? Eggs?

Question

I have a fish tank with aboue 20 or do guppy fry in a breeding chamber located inside the tank. In the large part of the tank theres two female guppies and an unknown gender neon.

I noticed inside the baby guppy breeding chamber, theres like a clear gell-like bubble shape, three of them on the botem of the chamber. Inside the gell stuff theres like little white dots everywhere. Like maybe 20-30 in each little section.

mind these gel pocket things are smaller than the circumference of an eraser.


What could this be? None of the other fish but the guppies have been there

Answer 1

Those little gel pockets are unmistakebly snail eggs. If you have even one snail its going to multiply whether its fully grown or not. Snail eggs hatch within a week of being layed.

If you dont it probably snuck in on a plant you bought. They are often placed in the same areas and baby snails can slip out. The baby snails require no care at all and can do alot of cleaning in your tank. Some snails eat algae as well as bacterial build up on the glass of the tank.

I wouldnt worry at all about the snails. If they begin to multiply enough, they can infest the tank but that can be solved two ways. You can buy a loach to eat the snails, or do what i did and sell the snails (great pets for kids :-) ).

Good luck with your babies :-)

Answer 2

You got snails right here in River City.
