Hey, I was pull some eggs from my Tropheus Dub's and noticed that she did not only have Eggs in her mouth but also alot of small snails!!! The tank she is in hardly has snails in it so I am not sure where they came from! There was about 8 eggs ,and like 15 small snails in her mouth!!!! They were not dead, but very much alive ,and were crawling all over the eggs! I dont think this batch will make it I have already had to throw out 4 eggs.
Have you all ever seen this?

Wow, I've heard of cuckoo catfish, but never cuckoo snails!

Yeah it was odd all the eggs were bad I think the snails killed them.

Well, that's an image from a horror movie. Sorry to hear about that!! I agree with your conclusion, too.
