tiny little fast moving bugs....

Scoobaman17 · 05/05/2008, 08:09 PM

I found these tiny little fast moving bugs all over my acrylic front and sides of my tank, I'mn sure they are on the rock as well "why wouldn't they be. They are so small I can't make them out. They are the size of a pin head and whitish in color with tiny tiny dark. I have been having countless snail eggs all over the tank but have never seen snail babies, can they run this fast? Like as fast as a nassaius snail.

Any ideas please thanks!

Great sites but the only thing I can thing of that might even come close to what I have is the phyto grazer "good guy". The thing is these look like tiny little mites you would find around reptiles "if they were on land" maybe they are good, I hope they are, I have never seen them before......

possibly rotifers, but I have never seen rotifers.

If you cant find it in either link then a pic would help. Open a www.photobucket.com account for easier pic sharing.

I have photobucket but they are so small that if I tried getting even a macro photo shot of these it would look like I was sharing pics of my tank. I tried.
