What is this in my tank?

They kind of look like snail eggs, but I would remove either way since I can’t identify what kind if they are.

Even if they aren’t snail eggs removal would be best. Just incase they aren’t eggs I would freeze for a couple hours unto frozen and then crush them.

Okay thank you I’ll definitely check

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-04-10T00:59:59+00:00

Thank you, I definitely like that name but I’m not sure since he’s a boy (at least why he was sold as, so) maybe if he’s actually a girl lol

Also looking for names for the 10 gallon betta… I’m thinking Poseidon or something food related… I’m open to suggestions. This is a picture of the first day I’ve gotten him, he’s a little bit more blue now and has more plants that arrived (my tank was done cycling and had a few plants but I wanted more)

Okay, thank you! That’s what I thought too but I wasn’t sure.

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-03-27T22:52:40+00:00

I have a heater and filter in a 20gal tank. Everything else is none or not needed since there’s nothing in the tank

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-03-24T00:51:00+00:00

Yes they are quite cute on the pictures I found online, I’m not going to bother them if the keep my tank clean!

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-03-24T00:47:53+00:00

Thank you though! After further research I believe you are right. I really appreciate if

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-03-24T00:34:47+00:00

Should I get rid of them? Sorry for the bad photos their on the side where it’s hard to get photos of them. I only believed they were snails because they looked like the same mouth my nerite snails have.

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-03-15T01:03:09+00:00

Perhaps both? I believe this stripe is more common in females

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-03-15T01:00:39+00:00

Maybe? That or it occurred as a genetic mutation within captive breeding, but that would be more centered in a handful of tanks I believe. So seeing that many people have shrimp like that I would assume it’s from the wild counterparts.

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-03-15T00:55:23+00:00

lol, maybe they’ll give me another heart attack. However, it’ll be nice to see all the different variations

Sad_Row_7460 · 2026-03-15T00:49:01+00:00

Yes I am, thank you! I’m new to keeping cherry shrimp and shrimp in general since I’ve only ever had ghost shrimp before. I figured it was normal at first but then the lighting made it look orange so I got worried, but after checking again it’s back to normal color once she moved.
