So these eggs are all over my tank...I have Nerite snails and I'm leaning towards them on this one because these eggs are on leaves, rocks, driftwood, glass, literally everything people. Now how do I get rid of this because they are tough to get off...

Nerite snail eggs. Leave them. I gave up removing mine since I could not. Maybe rub on steel brush? Try soft toothbrush if you haven't yet. Good luck.lol

Getting them off is like trying to take a Coors beer away from a redneck ain't gonna happen.

They will go away on their own after a month or so once they hatch.

They will hatch? I thought you needed some special water parameters?

Varying salinity levels. What species are yours? Only the Theodoxus fluviatilis and Neritina reclivata have been recorded to hatch so far.

Now, that depends on what you are offering said redneck in exchange. :silly:

They were sold to me as Olive Nerites.

I notice that they lay eggs a lot more when there's a food source present. Food source, mainly being GSA or Brown spot. When I rid my tank of it or when my snails eat it all up and my tank stops producing it, the eggs stop too. Which is a big plus, because nerite snail eggs are annoying. It's like a trade off between algae and snail eggs that never produces more snails. They just kinda linger there till it eventually falls off, which takes a loooong time.
