    ..and I'm not talking Easter Eggs. I noticed this on my Mag-Float today when I went to clean the glass. see photo.. Do you think they could be eggs? I did notice that my one six-line looked fat but thought nothing of it as they both looked a little plump. If it is eggs it would need to be from one of the six lines or from one of my clowns.. Any ideas? Is it possible for them to be eggs but not be fertilized? Any help in IDing would be great!

    Those are snail eggs. They're nutritious and fish love 'em! They are a sign that your tank is doing well. Nothing to worry about. Congratulations. :)

    By the way, wouldn't it be nice if you woke up tommorow and found thousands of tiny new healthy mag floats? :)

    Good luck on the snails
