ok, so my one 50g has only otos and bows in it. Today I noticed some weird egg like groups of things on a fake log. It looks like a honeycomb almost in a few places, but they are almost definitely some sort off egg. the group of them is about 1/4" around and they are light yellowish but still transparent. I tried to take a pic but Its at an odd angle my cheezy cam cant focus on. Some of my otos have been acting like they were mating, but I know its very rare for otos to breed in captivity. Anyone have any pics of developing snails, it could be small snails too, but i dont want to destroy the "eggs" until I at least have an idea what they are

Would be very exciting if they did turn out to be Oto eggs!

Well, whatever they were they looked a lot like oto eggs, but I found out one thing that they definitely were, and that's rainbow food. Soon as the bows noticed em they disappeared fast!
