    Re: White pod shaped parasite

    are the ones in your tank moving ? mine aren't. got a guppy plus a gang of hungry fishes in the tank but they're not devouring these things though. anyway I've trimmed away the leaves that have them and will cut back on feeding........

    I think l also have them in my tank. They looks like eggs and l use a pincer to scrub them, it's quite hard.
    Not sure what are those.

    Eggs, but from another snail, they will go barren as they need estuarine conditions to hatch

    yes, i have two horned nerite snails in the tank. As I don't see any ill effects except their apparent unsightlyness in the tank, I'll monitor to see if they hatch.and if they do you guys can have the snailets.
