Will cerith eggs hatch

[nickp9054]

I have about 5 cerith snails in my 30 gal. They recently layed a big squiggley line of eggs on the glass. Is there a chance they will hatch? Or should I just scrape them off.

They'll hatch Its just the raising the larvae to adulthood that's hard

Do they require special care or are they just easy targets for fish?

Little bit of both easy targets and mechanical filtration/skimming will remove alot of them. Ive had some make it to adulthood but very few compared to the amount of eggs I see.

Mine lay eggs quite regularly and I have yet to see any babies. I would love if they do show up one day though. Also that is a long strand of eggs for ceriths did you actually see them lay the eggs? Do you have any other snails in the tank it could be?
