Aquarium Advice Newbie
My tank has been up for about 9 months now. Even when I first set it up, I noticed these tiny little, clear, gnat-looking "bugs" on the substrate (substrate was live and packed in water when purchased) At first, you would only see them from time to time. I had noticed that they were multiplying and now it seems as though they are taking over. They are only the size of a pin head. They are now all over the sides of the tank, the rocks, and the substrate. I recently lost all of my fish (thanks to severe storms taking out electricity for 3+ days) and it seems they have even multiplied since then. I now have 2 pepermint shrimp, in hopes they would munch on these things, 3 trochus snails, and 7 blue leg hermit crabs.
I believe these little pests are responsible for the death of 3 astro snails. I would like to know what they are and how to get rid of them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
