| What an unsightly pain in the butt they are! Randomly placed on the glass and wood, they are everywhere and they are really stuck on. |

| Yeah nerites have the worst eggs IMO. They don't usually hatch in freshwater and when they do there might be one or two. Have you had any baby snails?

| Ok.. now I understand the annoying snail egg thing and my fish have not touched them. Annoying that theses snails are not working on my hard green spot algae like I was expecting. A couple of them really cleaned up my daughters Beta tank though. |
