I was looking at my tank this morning, and noticed small black pellet looking things in clusters on the leaves of one of my bamboo plants. It looks like mini pellet food, but I only feed frozen bloodworms and freeze dried/flake. It's only on this one plant, none of my others. Eggs? I have two angel fish in my tank, but they are too small to breed. I also have two snails, but they lay eggs above the water line, I thought. Poop, maybe? Although I've never seen fish poop look like that, and my snails don't usually hang out on my bamboo plant. I did recently buy some plants from a tank that had cherry shrimp in them, but this bamboo plant isn't one of the new plants; it's been in my tank for months. I can't find it anywhere else in my tank, or on any of my decorations, just this one bamboo plant. Anyone seen this before?

Not fish eggs. Does it move at all? Probably just poop, leftover food, or baby snails. What kind of gravel do you got, does it look similar to that?
 
looks like snail or shrimp poop
 
Poop I can deal with. Just haven't seen it anywhere else in my tank before, and wanted to make sure. Thanks, folks.
