Mystery Snail Laying Eggs?

[SuperMon]

Noticed my snail next to egg sac like object, but its below water and they don't look like the s I researched for a clutch to look like. Are these infertile eggs? Should I remove them or move them above the water line? New to snails . . .I know they can reproduce even when the lone snail, I had another snail a month ago (died), so I'm not surprised of the presence of the clutch, but I think it looks odd compared to photos of white round eggs. My snail is busy making another cluster . . .

That brown thing on the glass? If that is what your talking about, then I'm going to say those are leftovers

P.S. Welcome to Fishlore

I'm watching with interest...

I returned from a week's vacation to find two large lumps of tan-pink hard eggs on the lid of my tank and my fish-babysitter all worried. I have never even seen mystery snail eggs before, but can't figure out what else they could be...

Ooooo okay I thought snail poop was darker and usually stringy, I guess like fish poop. Okay no eggs for me thanks for the reply

Could you get a pic to make absolutely certain? It's almost 100% that's what they are. If you want to keep the babies, leave them where they are. They do best in the original egg-laying location.

I don't have a camera or smart phone... I'm guessing the fish might devour the babies?

Maybe. What fish are they? I had Ruby Red Minnows in with my snail babies and they were mostly fine (with a casualty here and there).

Some Bolivian Rams, cories, and a single male apisto.

That seems fine to me .

Cool, Mark! Wishing you luck, mine won’t reproduce.

You better get used to this snails will reproduce so much that after a while you have to start getting rid of them but those are eggs.

The above photo is not mystery snail eggs in my opinion, but poop!

Yea I thought that gel looking stuff above the water might have been eggs but after looking again I think it's just slime.

Looks like what my snails poop out after they've eaten a sinking algae wafer, usually when they are stealing from my BN pleco. I've had luck cutting down on everyone's waste by feeding them vegetables like spinach etc since it has less filler.
