Hi! I just purchased a plant and now I realized that there are two egg masses under the leaves. They are a clear gel-like droplet about 3/4 of a centimeter with maybe twenty white dots inside. They were from Petsmart, where I also bought a snail. After checking around, I have found that snail eggs often come on the plants and end up in an overabundance of snails in the tank. Right now I'm treating it as a science experiment so I'll handle the outcome later.
But what I'm curious about is that the store sells Apple snails; this one had the gold, blue and black types but all of those species lay eggs out of the water.
Do the plants they buy already have the eggs? I'm trying to figure out what might be in them. Snails seems like the answer, but I can't figure out what kind they would be since the ones they sell all lay eggs over the water line.
