Ok so I've got ALOT of snails breeding EVERYWHERE, so I decided that these guys should join in the fun too  So pretty much there is a big group of Stomatellas in this section of my sump (this is how my sump looks and the circled part is where they are at, and the arrow is where they are laying most of their eggs on):  Also, in the part of the sump, it is where I pour my flake food into daily to feed the tank on top, although sometimes all don't go up and a few stay below. Here is a photo of an adult, sorry bout bad quality,

Now I wasn't able to get a shot of some of the eggs (WAY TO SMALL) I'll try and get one asap, but here are photos and videos of these guys alive in their eggs that were laid sometime today:  Sorry bout some of the "weird parts" in the video, I was messing around with the microscope trying to get a better shot. And these were taken on a Celestron 4430

Ok turns out after doing some looking, this is actually NOT a stomatella, since they are pelagic spawners... I'm still trying to figure out what the ACTUAL species is, but until then I will continue updating this like a normal journal

Its been 2 days since these eggs have been laid, still no hatch and I am noticing that around 1/2 of them die off each day, day one had a 50% die off, day two had a 25% die off.
