I saw these little white things before after I added my plants and I had assumed it was just leftover potting material. Then after I got my lights upgraded I noticed they where gone and suddenly i had my ramhorn snails that appeared like magic. Now I have more of the white almost larva looking pods floating and I have noticed larger bead like white things on the substrate. Are these snail eggs? If so I'm guessing the larger ones are from the Mystery snail. (edit: replaced MTS with Mystery Snail)

Sorry the picture stinks bright lights limited camera options XD Ignore the diatoms its cleaning day! :P

they sure look like it to me. heres a link to a pic of ramshorn eggs. snail eggs very often hitch a ride on plants. good luck. they can turn into a big pest after not to long. i'd clear them out if you dont want them. all you need it 2 snails to make hundreds lol.

Good Idea. I think I want some more MTS so Ill try not to vacuum up those ones and I'm guessing my knife and cat should eat any of the rams that I miss.

Those look like eggs to me,

Those aren't MTS egggs. They don't lay eggs , they are livebearers. Young MTS are born not hatched.

You will mainly see them at night as they pretty much stay hidden in the substrate during the day.
Here is a great article and some pic also.
