I woke up this morning looked at my tank and screamed! All around the glass near the top are small white sacs that kind of resemble eggs.

Could those be fish eggs? I looked online and read they could also be snail eggs. I have no snails, but last week bought a plant and the fish store told me it would be safe to put inside my aquarium right away. Could I have gotten snail eggs from the plant?

I have 6 cories, a few tetras, and a pleco. The eggs look pretty big to me--are they pleco eggs?

Sounds like snail eggs. Cory eggs are possible if they are not in a gelatinous mass. Plecos normally spawn in caves or something close to being cavelike. Their eggs, of kicked from a cave, would remain on the bottoms and are usually big and amber colored.

Okay, here goes. The "eggs" look like on the pleco but they are on the glass.

I'm guessing Cory eggs too. If they were snail eggs, as mentioned, they would be hard to make out inside the gelled sac that's almost invisible until you see the tiny specs. Cory egs, I would say are about the size of a sesame seed except round all around, not flat like the seed.

Yup, sounds like cory eggs to me. But Shhhh, I'm not sure that msjinkzd could stand to ready another cory spawn thread. I might have to run over to her place and slip some bably albino cories in her tanks as a surprise!:eek3:
