Dave+Amy Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've discovered my Blue Rams picking on tiny/miniscule eggs on the glass and the anubias in their corner, just wanting to know which fish it could belong to. The eggs are about the size of a pin tip, ranging from clear/light pink to cream. I have Cardinals, Glowlights, Chain loaches, Zebra loaches, Discus and Rams and GBAs - I have already crossed off the parental list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave+Amy Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 don't have any at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Rams or GBA then?? Doubt that it would be the loaches and no way would it be the tetras as they would not stick to the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 too little - about a quarter the size of Ram eggs. Do snails lay eggs?? Can't think of which eggs would lay eggs this small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 ive found snail eggs to look more like a gel/ slear snot in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 ok...so it's not snails either, now I'm really confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have Cardinals, Glowlights, Chain loaches, Zebra loaches, Discus and Rams and GBAs - I have already crossed off the parental list. Are you sure thats all the fish you have? maybe they were baby snails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Are you sure they were stuck to the glass? Cause glowlights are know to spawn alot in community tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 ...could be jammed up against glass by plants I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 some types of snail eggs could almost meet that criteria , are they in clusters or 5 or more almost touching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon1990 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I would go with the glolights or maybe you have a rare chainloach spawn? I dont know what their eggs look like though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I go for snail eggs. If they were fish eggs they would have been eaten by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Do you know any snails that lay like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Nope but I don't have any snails either 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 if those eggs did belong to my glowlights - how long would they take to spawn again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Depends :lol: You may have several females, therefore it is possible at least one might be ready to spawn at any given time so you might get a continuous dropping of eggs.
