Steve-Ward.net Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Well, this showed up, literally, overnight. However, it might have been there the day before and I just didn't notice. I don't think it could have been there any more than 24 hours without me noticing, considering how much I watch my tank. It is on the glass and appears flat. It has not moved/grown considerably all day. Some sort of weird algae, or some kind of flatworm? Because of the two-dimensional nature of it, I don't really know. The guy at the lfs was pretty confident it was a flatworm and, furthermore, said it was "cool," and I was lucky to have it. Is approximately 4" in length (not counting all the curves).

jdsabin1 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Looks like snail eggs. As a sidenote, "The guy at the lfs was pretty confident it was a flatworm and, furthermore, said it was "cool," and I was lucky to have it." This guy is a bonafide moron. I rarely hear flatworms described as 'cool' and even more rarely are you considered 'lucky' to have them in your tank (LOL!). Amazing what people spew out of their mouths acting like they know something.... Link to comment
ToeCutter Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 those are cerith snail eggs, which won't live flatworms are ok, except the red ones that multilply into plague numbers Link to comment
Steve-Ward.net Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 rofl, funny you would say that, because in the midst of the conversation my friend Rob (Beermu) and I got that impression as well. Rob happens to be a chemical engineer, and the LFS worker was lecturing him about the chemistry reasons why he needs to have a biowheel on his 2 week old nano, which is fine, except he kept saying wrong things (something about the nitrites themselves turning into bacteria??? I dunno... stopped listening to the conversation pretty quickly). Snail eggs, huh? That pretty cool. Any chance of a few actually hatching and surviving? Link to comment
Steve-Ward.net Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 ah, question is answered before I could respond. thanks. Link to comment
redline Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 my cerith's are the horniest snails on the planet. I have new eggs squiggles daily and unlike what toecutter says, they do hatch. Link to comment
NanoJunkee Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I thought MY Ceriths were the horniest on the planet! =) At least twice a week I find eggs...and mine definitely hatch because I have quite a few babies running around. I just added a refugium, so I'm putting all the babies I can catch in there so they can grow safely... Link to comment
