Hi, I am a new member. I have Mystery Snails in my tank. They have just laid eggs. I was wondering if the Oscars will eat the baby snails when they arrive? If so, will this harm my Osacars?

Welcome to OFL

I absolutely hate snails. What shape are they? Some Oscars will eat snails, others will just ignore them. I shouldn't worry, they won't harm your fish
I may not always be right, but I am always the boss
If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

did you put the snails in yourself or did they just appear?
if they just appeared, it'll be because of live plants which may be in your tank, snails lay eggs in the plant which then hatch in your tank once you have got the plant home and put it into you aquarium, thats 1 main reason why i dont use live plants.
and of course, because i have oscars

if you want to get rid of these snails, the way i done it was, place some lettuce just above water level inside you tank before you go to bed 1 night, and watch how many snails you have caught in the morning, obviously you'll have to do this for a few days to get the whole lot but it worked for me.
2 Tiger Oscars, 1 Lutino Oscar, 1 Jack Dempsey, 3 Clown Loaches, 1 Blue Phantom Pleco.
