    Cleaning my 10 gallon I found this clutch of eggs (I think). I think they are mystery snail eggs although I just added a l455 pleco 10 days ago.

    Any thoughts?

    Also can I scrape them into a hospital tank for grow out?

    They have to be out of the water for a time, then you raise the water level and they hatch. Need quite a bit of calcium or the shells disintegrate.

    They need high humidity to hatch. You can float the eggs on a thin piece of styrofoam.
