Pond snail/Bladder snail eggs.

Clear jelly covered eggs-snail eggs, I agree with @Deanasue If you don't want more pest snails get rid of them. I just had a snail infestation and removed over 100 pest snails from my tank, now I am down to removing 3-4 a day.

In that case I will remove them, by any chance do you know if any of my fish will naturally eat them?

Probably not

An assassin snail will eat them.

An assassin snail will eat them.

And then one will have a bunch of assasin snails.

Plus assassin snails dont eat algae, bladder snails ramshorns MTS actually serveva function where as assassin snails just eat all useful snails then take over your tank.
I never understood buying snails to get rid of snails, it would be like buying a rabbit eating rabbit to get rid of rabbits

Nope! Assassin snails only lay one egg at a time and don’t breed as often as other snails so there is no problem of them taking over a tank.

Guys, My tanks are full of snails. The OP asked If fish would eat them. I simply offered a suggestion. Apparently the OP doesn’t want snails. Getting off topic. Lol!

You apparently have no experience with assassin snails. Take over??? In about a decade. Lol!

I dont, i dont mind snails in my tank, rams eat algae mts aerate the substrate and nerites eat lots of algae lots of different kind and dont breed in my tank.
Buying nerites and algae eating shrimp control my "pest" snail population by outcompeting them for food. Assassins just eat snails add to my bio load dont eat algae or aerate my substrate and while they dont reproduce as quickly as say mts or rams and bladder snails they still reproduce and after the rams and mts and bladders are gone one is left with a bunch of useless snails

Except for the reports of people complaining about having a tank of assassins and how to get rid of them. There are other more effective ways to control "pest" snails without adding a useless snail.
