Snail eggs

I noticed some eggs in the top of my aquarium and have confirmed that they are snail eggs. But they are above the water and I was wondering if they will hatch where they are or do they need to be in the water?

 

IIRC, apple snails lay eggs above the water line. They should hatch but be warned that your tank could easily become overrun with snails.

i was just wondering what color r the eggs???

 

They are yellow and I don't have the apple snails. It's the other typical kind - Pomacea bridgesii.
I found a picture that looks just like the eggs in my tank at http://www.applesnail.net/content/photo ... eggs_2.htm It's the 4th picture. I was just worried about them not being in water.

 

i was just wondering b/c i have 2 differnt kinds of eggs in my pond right nwo and i knew what 1 of the types of eggs were but not the other thanks though that web sites very helpful.....

 

It's been a week and a half and those darn snails have already put out more eggs. I have 2 snails and they'll have the tank full of eggs if I let them. Hope snail eggs aren't difficult to clean out.

 

yea they will take over ur tank if u let them....lol in 1 of our ponds its filled w/ eggs pink eggs and clear eggs nothing has hatched yet and some eggs have been ate by the fish but we keep cleaning out most of the eggs and they just add more to where we took them off at....have any of urs hatched yet???

 

Nope. Still waiting. The first ones are black inside and they should be hatching soon. The most annoying thing is they were placed inside the light so if I turn the light on the eggs stink to high heaven.
