Can anyone tell me if these are snail eggs?
I forgot to circle them, but they are on the silicone.

I’m so excited! I’ve been waiting for forever for some snails to lay eggs. Haha
I had a really bad experience with my order for these ramshorn snails. Most died so I’m left with just 4 so they have a lot of work to do. Lol

Water is kept very clean. Low bio load, some plants in the tank and pothos up top. They get algae, algae wafers, any food that might reach the bottom, and zucchini.
I’ve seen those eggs empty now, but don’t see any baby snails in the tank yet. Not sure if they are just blending in that well, or if the zebra danios ate them?
I hope they aren’t getting eaten.
 
danios may eat some snails before their shells grow past being little buttons on their backs, but I wouldn't worry. Even when kept with fish that seriously like to eat snails (plecos, goldfish, some catfish) I never had to worry about my population dwindling. Their not like shrimp or guppies who have a few, vulnerable babies at a time; snails lay hundreds of eggs, their babies are 'smart enough' (not like shrimp, from what I hear :p ) disappear into cracks almost right away, and quickly grow shells that protect them against many fish.
