Yep, they are the ones I found in my tank. The black spot on these ones that I found was on it's head....unless it was moving backwards.

so that could mean that they have came from the eggs? or is it the coir or sphanagum moss i use/posted them in?
i am getting really worried now tcould this be why most of my eggs havent hatched?

i keep the eggs in a coir pot with moss and coir so it could be either, but i havent seen them in any other part of the tank

They sounds like flatworms, the type you get in Aquariums, they can appear in wet tanks. They also predate on fish eggs so it is possible with snail eggs.

that could be right because it is an aquarium they wanna leave my eggs alone  |

i just looked at the eggs again and found at least two different little bugs on them there were worms but they didnt look as big as the other one i found earlier and they were transparent and there was tiny almost like tiny spider things i couldnt see what they looked like they were to small and really fast  ive changed the substrate cleaned the eggs and washed the tub out with hot water. plus my eggs look kind of moldy grey do yours look like this eric? |
