Bugs on glass, inside
I noticed some little, 1mm or less, white specs on the inside of my tank. I noticed they were moving differently than algae or, say lint would so I got my magnifier, 30X, out to check them out. I could only identify 2 sements, but there may very well could have been more. On what appeared to be the head end there was what a large set of jaws or something like that and on the back end there were 2 little whip like tails. Does anyone know what these are?
When I looked at the substrate there were tons of little tiny worms about 25microns. These were about 1cm on top and below the substrate. |
