Lo Guys,
Quick answer to a query needed here (off on holiday tomorrow).
In the past, when doing tank maintenance, I've found little groups of (white) eggs. Probably about marble sized, and with a salty consistency. If I try to pick the group of eggs up, they just disintegrate, but I can remove them buy scooping them out with my hand.
I've always assumed that they're snail eggs so I've been removing them.
Anyway, I've just done my pre-holiday maintenance and this time discovered a pretty large (maybe 3 marbles) group of eggs. This time though, instead of being a white colour, they're bright pink. It's suddenly occurred to me that they could actually be fish eggs?
I've got neons, serpae tetras and 2 albino corys.
The snails I've got are some spirally nasty things that have pretty much taken over the tank (although, god bless them, they totally cleared up my algae problem) and something else, that's a really nice shape. But thinking about it, there's no way that a single snail could make as much eggs as I found today. Have I just thrown away a load of fish eggs?
