Are you saying that those are zebra snail eggs? They simply don't hatch in fresh water, right?

The spots look like the eggs that nerite snails leave all over everything. Never hatch of course....

Just an update... sadly it's probably just a practice run... they are now back to living individually...

I have since added some number of juvenile zebras to the tank... means no blood worms for a while too ( i believe blood worms will stimulate breeding)

They appear to be nerite snail eggs.

Nothing to worry about. They can't hatch in FW, and the egg casings tend to stay on anything they are laid on, until something eats them. No harm done, except to tank decor.
