Hi guys!!

So I was sitting and staring at my tank trying to figure out where my assasin snail is burrowed. Not for any particular reason. Anywho I came across a clump of eggs in the sand getting eaten my my lovely little bladder snails. I dusted off all the snails and scooped the eggs in a net for now. Who do you think they belong to? Definitely not bladder snail eggs, I know what those look like. Right now I only have 1 small golden nugget pleco, 5 little Otos, 5 amanos, 5 blue velvet shrimps (the blue cherry shrimps), 1 assasin snail, and ~1 million bladder snails (lol 😂).

Obviously my money is on the fish, but the eggs don't look like any of the pix I've found online.

While I cannot identify the mother I can assure you I am not the mother.

Those look a bit like cherry shrimp eggs.....

New here, but I second the cherry shrimp eggs, dropped by mama?

Thirded on them being your blue velvet's eggs.

Can't be the pleco, there's no other pleco to help with that.
Can't be the otos, those are known to lay clutches similar to cory cats and usually on a surface and not the sandbed.
Can't be the amanos, those have green eggs that are far smaller.

Awesome, sounds like we have a consensus. Lol. Thanks guys

Hey, how are the eggs doing?

Unfortunately by the next morning they were covered in fuzzy mold or fungus. 😔 So I just let the snails eat them.
