My two nerites have been laying eggs all over my twenty gallon. Usually I scrape them off the leaves and move on because I know they are hard to breed in freshwater conditions. However, I have a question. Instead of the usual sesame seed color, eight eggs I've just found are an olive color just like the patent snail. Does this mean these eggs are viable or just rotting away. They are very firm and very attached to the leaf I found them on. Ideas?
 
Nerite eggs stay ligt yellow for ages if they are not fertile. So you problably got a winner there :) although stange that it is in fresh water...
 
Sweet! I'll certainly keep an eye on them!
 
I would definitely keep an eye on them. I see Nerite snail eggs on the glass, but they always disappear within a couple days.
