    I think it is the pink snail egg as they normally lay on the surface of the tank. Your fish never make a snack out of the egg?

    The second picture looks like ramshorn snail eggs. Not sure of the first picture though. What is the pink snail of yours?

    Looks like ramshorn eggs to me. They are tough to get rid of and will be ALL over your tank. So unless you're prepared to take on more snails, I suggest you remove your ramshorn asap.

    The eggs are too tough for the fishes to try anything. I tried scratching it off with my nails before, failed big time. I had to pour hot water (tank was empty at that time) on it before scrubbing it off. Loads of work then!
    Need something to scratch that itchy hand of mine.

    Don't act smart. Be smart!
