I've noticed today that most of my plants have tiny black bits on the leaves?

Are these snail eggs [have removed couple of snails from tank] ?

Or fish eggs [one of the females has quite a round belly and is not livebearer] ?

Thanks all

I believe all snails are different, but when I got snails with some of my plants, their eggs were small orange blobs of jelly, about 2 or 3mm wide.

Silly question, but are they definetally eggs? Would you be able to get a photo?

I can't say that they ARE eggs, no! They just seemed to appear over night :/ They're much smaller than 2-3mm, maybe only 1mm at the biggest! The snails that I removed weren't much bigger than 5mm themselves. They're fairly spread out as well on the leaves, not clumped together.

Can try and take photo tonight, but no guarantees on the picture quality due to the size of them!
