so im about to do some heavy cleaning on my 20 gallon tank and there are so many bladder snail eggs. ive counted 15 on walls, decor, plants, even a few on the filter intake. so what's the best way to get rid of them? i dont want any more snails than i already have and i want to avoid the eggs hatching in pipes.

Your best bet is to manually remove as you see them, you could also try feeding a little less to you fish this will also help, squash them on the glass and see if your fish like them, its a good alternative food source

Scrape them off. The action of scraping them should break the eggs but to be sure, squash them. Doing so should destroy them and they can just be tossed in the trash.

Good luck! If you saw that many there is most likely more you dont see. I would soak them in Alum water until they turn white or squish them then throw then out if you dont want them.
