White trail like dots, what are these?

Hello,

I woke up this morning to find what looks like little white dots/stripes in the formation of a trail on the glass. The last thing I added to the tank were some small nassarius snails. Here’s a picture:

Thanks

I believe those are Nassarius snail eggs.

Thanks, from what I’m reading these are very difficult to breed in the tank so will most likely be eaten by the fish?

Not sure personally, since I have never had my snails breed with fish around. Hopefully, they survive :).

I get snail eggs all the time. Most of the time, I'm sure they get wiped out. But turn your red light channel on at night if you have one. You may be surprised at the amount of tiny snails that appear from the sand bed/rocks. If you're seeing eggs, my guess is that you have some baby snails too.
