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?

Wow betty your cichlids don't eat them? I hardly ever see any cause my cichlids eat them 1-2 day after they lay them

I have to use my fingernail to scrape them off.

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.
