Neeeew Hampshaaa
aright, so my grandmother has 2 snails in her tank, 2 species... one is a large gold mystery snail, the other is a small TIGER? snail.. now in every crevace opf her tank, (along the edges/corners of the tank, plants, heater) there are these little tiny white spots. only thing in her 5 Gallon are some baby gourami's and some neons, besides the snails... i kno without a pic its very difficult to tell me anything, but has anyone ever experienced this? the only reason i rule out the fish is becuase wouldnt fish normally cluster their eggs? these are all over like a trail of paint...:banhim: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :naughty: :ROFL:
 
Howdy,

I usually see snails lay eggs in clutches, not spots all over.
 
All the freshwater snail eggs I've seen have been laid above the water line and look like a gross gelatinous mass, kinda like a large mushy jello raspberry. They are often times pink, but can be orange or green depending on the species of snail.
 
When my snail lays eggs they look like this
