Hard to describe, around a millimeter or so in diameter, look like tiny, tiny, clear parachutes...or maybe tiny jellyfish?

There are loads of them swaying about stuck to the inside of my tank, i've brushed them off with the magnet but hey come back...p.diddy and dave dont seem to want to eat them...but they are pretty hard to see?

they all hang like lamp shades be really tiny threads coming from the top.

Any ideas what these might be?

Do you have snails in there? Snail eggs are little balls of jelly kind of like you describe.

Sounds like hydras. Do they look a little like a saltwater anemone?

If they are hydras, don't worry, they usually cycle themselves out. At least in all my FW tanks they have.

Is yours a freshwater tank?

Not really like anemone, imagine like half a dandelion seed with a stalk which they attatch with....

i think i've got rid of most of them, have done a few more water changes and made sure to scrub the side first o get them floating around, seems to have done the trick, weird though...they must have come in on the plants or something, is it common to get pests off plants?

yeah, you can get snail eggs to these pond creature looking things. idk if they are pond creatures but i recall seeing these lookin things under a microscope way back when i was in middle school. i had/hav a few in my tank from a plant ...

The snail sack looks like a clear semi-colon with specks in them.
