    for the past few weeks something has been breeding in my rocks like crazy and my back glass has these eggs pretty much every where.

    Here is a pic of some of them, and literally right after i was done taking a pic of the eggs it was breeding again.

    So any ideas?

    i have had a few eggs make it in the past because every now and then i will notice some new baby nerites im just hoping not all of them will just because theirs so many, some are turning brown, where some are white, does that mean they've hatched

    that is a good idea, i already have a lot of nerites as it is, i dont need any more lol
