Default Can anyone identify this?

I found it in my tank this morning on the back corner. Just this ziggy-zaggy line going up and down the glass. At first I freaked, thinking my glass was cracking. My next thought was some type of species propogation.



And just below it, some more...


Ever think of starting a forum subsection just for identification?

That is a tough one. Do you have any cerith snails in your tank?
Are the squigly lines made up of a bunch of tiny dots?

Up close does it look like this -

An identification forum might be a good idea.
What does everyone else think?

Someone on another forum confirmed that they are probably Cerith snail eggs. I do have Ceriths in my tank. Only a half dozen or so. I guess this means that at least something is doing well in my tank. I would imagine that if the conditions weren't optimal, they wouldn't be laying eggs.

Cerith eggs are my best guess. Good luck with them. Hopefully when they hatch some will not get eaten by your fish and make it to adulthood.

A new forum for identifications has been set up and this thread has been moved!
