Teeny spiders on the glass - Aquarium Advice

snapcrackler · 11-02-2003, 09:48 PM

Like teeny spiders but...

Except they have about 12 legs or so... little 1/8 spiderlike critters clinging to the glass on my [acronym:e2d4eda9a2="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:e2d4eda9a2]

What the heck?

Too small for me to photograph.

For that matter I have thousands of very very tiny little bugs now on my glass hopping around, a few thousandths/in each +.

Man I need to get a microscope.

Any idea on the spider things?

Thank you,

Erik

RR - you never cease to amaze with your [acronym:296d9cc447="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:296d9cc447] info.

The link pic was exactly my critters..

It says they eat artemia, I have a brine hatchery at a corner of my tank and there was a bunch of them riding around on the hatchery.

AH so........

crazy little bugs
