    Guys, just curious, do shrimps actually lay their eggs on plants too? i read the net and it says they carry them around. But right now, i have some white substance ( looks like mini white dots ) around some part of the plants, and its alot of them, i was wondering, could it be eggs or is it some other bacteria? and when i lift the plant above the water, the eggs have some jelly like protection around it.... this is my first time keeping shrimps so i still dunno much abt them

    Shrimps lay egg on plant? I don't think so.

    So you have snails in your tank? I have red ramhorn and their eggs are often seen on the leaves of my plant.

    Snail eggs. Search harder.
    1-3 snail is likely to have hitch hiked along with the plants.
