i was cleaning out my eheim 2028 filter today and noticed some thing moving i dont no what they are. There like little bugs they were out of eggs aswell and the only thing i can think of they may be baby apple snail does anyone no what they look like. They remind me of water fleas there clear oval shape and and 1 looked like it was opening up like a clam thats the best i can describe them. I do have a camera but they are to small for it can anyone help please thanks in advance.
 
It could be snails... do you have any snails in your display tank? Or shrimp, or any other kind of inverts?
 
Sounds very much like snails. 1 snail can lay many, many eggs

The sentance was a little hard to read, but we all get that like that sometimes when we try to type quickly, it's only because we don't want to miss anything out.
 
I only have apple snails do there eggs drop into the water once there ready to hatch iv had there eggs before but iv always got rid of them i could see the emty egg shells but and what looked like egg shells swimming around.
 
does any one have any pics or a link so i can see baby apple snails pls as im sure its not baby apple snails as i think i can see legs of some sort
 
no i dont think they were apple snails il try and take a picture today thanks for all your help guys
 
They are probaly snails. snails can asexuly reproduce. They also tend to get into filter when they do.
