AquaMan Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi fishy-folk Can anyone help identify some eggs? They have appeared on the side of a filter case in an outdoor pond, at a depth of around 80cm. The oval egg casing is about 10mm long. When viewed with the naked eye, the eggs look reflective and have holographic/pearlshell qualities. As far as I am aware, I only have apple snails in the pond, although I did have a number of ramshorn snails which haven't been seen for some time. I understand the apple snails lay a pink clutch of egges above the water line. Oh, I see I can't post images here. Doh! Well, maybe if anyone feels they may be able to assist they could let me know and I could email pics of the eggs Any clues? :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Why not show us the pic here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaMan Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi Caryl I would have liked to have been able to post my images here, but the FAQ says I have to post them on another server and then do a look-up... Can I post Images? Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed). Is there a way around this? Or am I stoopid? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Without seeing the pic I'd say they were the ramshorn snails. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaMan Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Alan 104, you were right. I found some pics to compare them to. I checked on the egg sack today and it has vanished. Hopefully that means they have hatched! x matt x thanks for the photobucket tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
