What could it be?

I noticed this on my R. wallichii stems. Could it possibly be eggs? or an evil Rotala stem nodule disease? They are about 1mm across.

 

never seen that? eggs are usually in clutches?

 

They're also only on the Rotala, nowhere else.

 

what fish do you have? cant imagine it would be a plant disease.

 

Looks like swollen auxiliary buds, maybe it is producing fruit/seeds/flowers.

I know it's not the same plant, but maybe something like this is happening: Rotala ramosior

 

I have C. pygmaeus, C. habrosus and Neolebias ansorgii. It's definitely not tetra eggs.

 

That would be nice, but wouldn't it only flower emersed?

 

i dont know im puzzled. also doesnt look like corry eggs. think it wont be easy to get flowers submersed. ive seen anubias and some plants with submersed flowers before. and its usually ony one flower.

 

I would say those are not eggs.

 

Anybody else have any ideas? @Sean J, @shihr have you ever seen this on Rotala?

 

:egg:

Looks like flower buds but will most properbly rot away.

 

They're buds... I get them as well, particularly when my R. wallichii isn't doing too well... But they're normal. Not sure why they appear or what they do, but worry not!

 

Thanks. I couldn't find any references to that on google, but I guess it's there now for others to see As for them not doing so well - I think I may be low on nitrates...

 

They love high light
