	Do I Have Koi Eggs or Snail Eggs?
Barb_Fan2 Fingerling Posts: 27 Kudos: 23 Votes: 0 Registered: 12-Jan-2006	I was cleaning my pond pump today and something on the outer casing they are very small not more the 1/4 to 1/2 inch in size blobs of clean sacks, clear to milky color with little clear bubble looking dots inside this sack. I am wondering what this is? is it snail eggs? or Koi eggs? as they have to be eggs of some sort.

Fish eggs are not normally laid in clear sacs. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

So I would have to agree on snail eggs. I find out soon as I removed a group of the sacks and put them in to a specimen container to see what they hatch in to.
