  • Name that egg!

    This is in Kiko's tank and they are scattered all along the front glass and in his little plant orb hanging on the side of the tank.




    Stock that could potentially be parents of these eggs.

    They look square which makes me think they're from the assassin snails.

      Looks like assassin eggs to me.

        They are a single egg encased in some jelly like, looks like a sunny side up egg if that helps.


        Do Assassins just scatter eggs everywhere? There's a single plant orb that is mounted halfway up the glass and there's eggs scattered in there too. I thought Assassins laid eggs under the substrate.

          Nahhh, I think assassins do scatter eggs like that.

            Agreed, looks like assassins to me also. And yes, they scatter all over our 10g.

              Yes, they scatter eggs all over like that. They'll attach an egg here, another one there, and another one over there. It's kind of like an easter egg hunt finding them.

              This page has a couple of good pics of the eggs for reference.

                Agreed on the assassins being the parents. I hardly ever see my assassins' eggs cuz they bury 'em or put 'em in plant roots.

                      Yup, yup. Didn't you give those assassins from our tank to Kiko? They are breeding machines.
