have a 450 litre filtered pond in its first year. underneath each lily leaf
are numerous clear jellylike cylinders 3-4 cm long which are obviously new
life of some kind. the pond otherwise contains iris, oxygenators, 2
goldfisha nd 2 shebunkins. Any ideas what creature lays such a thing-want to
keep them if not harmful but whatever it is eats the lily leaves!
thanks

Probably water snail eggs. You need the snails to deal with detritus in
the pond, and they won't cause major damage to the lilies.
