Tanker Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) This is either a sac of Harlequin Rasbora eggs, Zebra snail eggs, or a hermaphritic Betta as I only have the three in the tank. There are also four BN's in there from Saturday's blessing, but they are certainly not BN eggs. There are also a few common snails in there, but they are still very small, and should not be mature enough to be laying, as yet; the largest one of the snails is smaller than the egg sac is. Pretty much HAS to be the Boras, but if it is, I'll be a monkey's uncle, since that defies everything I have read about their mating habits (extremely difficult at best, WAY lower pH). But apparently they also will hatch in 24 hours.... um... that's this afternoon. They showed up yesterday, and I want to get them ID'd so I can take care of them... my own-grown Boras would rock, if that's what it is. Thanks for the help! I am SO not set up for fry... goodness... I am going to put them in a smaller tank and see what grows up... right after CSI: Miami is over. Edited May 24, 2005 by Tanker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'd guess snail eggs...very similar to ramshorn clutches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Definitely looks like snail eggs to me as well. I wouldn't be surprised though if it were the ramshorn snails, even if they are smaller than the egg group (I would think they take on water and expand after they're laid).

Tanker Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Funky... cause I don't have any of those. I have some spotted Malaysian style snails (but they are not Malaysian, just that 'shape'), and one zebra... I have the eggs in an isolation tank to see what grows, now. If they end up being little white wigglers, the works get's flushed. Thanks for the speedy replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arixonbarnes Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 My zebra snails lay their eggs individually and they never hatch (I confirmed this with Henry at D.A.D.'s) in fresh water. Betta (betta spendens that is) eggs are individual so I would think they have to be your "boras" eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
