Found thousands of eggs in my filter. What is it?

[Xod]

Im not sure where to post this and I tried doing a google search for Eggs in filtration. Came up with nothing. Here are some pictures of what seems to be a infestation of eggs growing in my canister filter. They where found in a bag of carbon.





There is currently no infestation in the tank so I am confused who or what laid these eggs.
Any information or guessed are appreciated.

If they are eggs from your fish who are in that tank it would be hard for anyone to guess without knowing what type of fish you have.

what kind of fish?

If this is a planted tank, I'd say snails.

Hatch them out and see!

I have some cardinal tetras, RCS, otos, L010a. I recently bought a plant from a LFS and have found a snail in the tank. I am going to assume its snail eggs. Wouldnt it require a pretty large snail to produce this many eggs? The biggest snail i have found in my tank is about the 3mm

I dont think they are snail eggs, but as I said, hatch them and show us the results.
