EGGS?

[kevinf]

Hi , I have some drift wood in my tank with what looks like eggs on it. I am new and do not know what they are. The tank (21 gallon freashwater temp =24.5C)has: 2x indian flasher barb (denisons barb), 2x inlecypris auropurpureus(carp), two albinao cories, one red eye tetra, one white cloud minnow, one sailfin molly, two very small snails that came in on plants have been removed a few days ago. I have only had the barbs for 3 hours, and I have only had the two corries in the same tank for one day. (cories were in a different tank together for a a few weeks , then moved to a new tank one at a time a few days apart) My carps have been in the tank for only one week....The eggs look like about 15 tiny(less then one milimeter) green eggs with in a clear "slime bubble sack", the sack of slimy appearing stuff is about 3 milimeters long. Picture is the best I could get. any ideas!?...I cant seem to find where/how to attach my picture....(I have attached a pic before here...)

No black dots, the green dots (15 or so) are so small that if there are black dots within them , they are too small to see. Yes I added some live plants recently....no fish in here "should" have been able to lay eggs in this tank so snail seems to make sence. Do I remove them? Ishould add; the two snails I removed were very small the same size as this "egg sack"
cheers

it sounds like snails so, i would the easiest way is with a spoon they will keep breeding and you will be eventially over run if you do not do anything about it, and it makes a serious mess of your tank and have to restart, i would not reccommend using a snail killing product the metals in it can have long term effects on your fish
