Ok i have these vary small black bugs with little antennas that stay at the top of the water right on the sides i don't know how i got them or what they are i a week ago i drained my tanks cleaned my tank from head to toe and now there back dose anyone know what these little guys are and how to get rid of them???
 
Sounds like ostracods. Do you have any fish in the tank? Some fish will eat them.
 
i only 1 little jewel but he dosn't seen to know that they are there
 
Is it possible for you to provide a picture of them? It would help us identify what they are. Also, is your tank sealed at the top? Is you fish exhibiting any odd behaviours or symptoms?
 
I had them in one of my tanks and they finally disappeared none of my fish even bothered with them. I have no idea where they really came from.
 
they and to small for me to get a picture of with anything i have
