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.
