Hi all, just noticed some mystery eggs in my tank. They have been layed under a leaf. In my tank I have Guppies (obviously not these guys), a sucking loach, m&f Yellow BN's, cherry shrimp, 1 Ramshorn snail and 1 Purple apple snail.
Any ideas

If they are in a gelatinous mass, they are likely snail eggs.

i would say 100% snail. Best bet would be to pull em out before they hatch.

Apple snails lay eggs above the water line I believe so I'd say not the apple snail. Ramshorn snail egg batches are usually a lot "flatter" on leaves and in my experience don't look like that....have you introduced any new plants to the tank? Definately look like snail eggs of some kind.
