Eggs? What are these?

[WhistlingBadger]

I really suspect it's snails, but the weird thing is I've had this tank setup for just over a year, and I haven't added any new snails or decor lately, and I've never had eggs like this before. It's weird, weird, weird, I tell you. @Back in the fold is right though. I love me a good mystery. I don't think they're frog eggs...but I really hope they are. Wouldn't that be a great Christmas present?

Every once in a while something appears and you scratch your head wondering where it came from . It’s usually something somewhat normal like ostrocod seed shrimp or cyclops or snails . Tubifex worms have been known to mysteriously appear . One member here reported that recently but the really mysterious mysteries are the ones that mysteriously appear in long established aquarium’s . Does stuff float in on the air ? Do eggs remain dormant in fish food and wait for the right conditions ? This happens more often than you think and it does make for some interesting amateur sleuthing .

Last night there were fewer; today only three are left. I don't think anything is eating them, as I haven't seen the fish pay them any mind. Perhaps they are snail eggs and they're just hatching and dropping into the water. ??? Perhaps I'll never know. I have often said that I like my tanks to have a little mystery to them...but it's going to bug me if these things just disappear without my ever figuring out what they are.
