    In the upper corner is a snail that has been moving around my tank but mainly sticking to the glass. Everytime I look in the tank I see more and more of these little white dots. At first I tried to rub them off as I was cleaning the glass but they are very well stuck on there! They are maybe a millimeter wide. Some of them look like they have something in the center. Most recently if you can tell from the picture I now have the little little white dots. They move kind of quickly and are too small to measure. In the picture they look like the fuzzy white things on the glass. What does anyone think? So I need to worry about them?

    Opps that should be Do I need to worry about them? Should I leave them or try to clean them off? More snails the better right?

    They'll probably be eaten before they have a chance to hatch.
