Hello,
There are hundreds of tiny, tiny white bugs in my Texas Cichlids aquarium. They crawl all over the glass and throughout the rocks. I just did a 30% water change yesterday and check both the Nitrate and PH of my aquarium. Both turned out avg. These little bugs are not crawling on my fish, though they seem to annoy him (but so do the plants and filter tube. hehe)
Are these harmful? Even if they aren't is there an easy way to get rid of them. It looks as though the fish tank has a bad case of chicken pox.
- 7 year Old Tex Cichlid
- I'm not sure on the exact values of all my fish tank params, but the Nitrate and PH turned out to be average (after the water change)
- 30gal tank that's been set up for at least 2 years in this location.
- I have a Whisper 60 Power filter
- I have one 7yr old Tex Cichlid in the tank. He's about 11inch long (soon to be upgraded to a much larger tank)
- 30% water change and semi gravel vacuum (every month or so)
- Had this fish for 7yrs
- Nothing new has been added
- No change in what I'm feeding him (lg floating cichlid food)
