they could be pods. Good source of food if you have any Mandrins.

Do they look like little fleas? If they are they are pods. No reddish tinge to them is there?

They are most likely amphipods (larger) or copepods (very small). An indication of a healthy environment, good source of fish food, and help keep the tank clean. Their population will cycle throughout the life of your tank. Sometimes you will have millions of them and other times you won't be able to fins any.

small pods on glass

Yes, I have them as well. Millions of them on the glass. They are exceedingly small...maybe 1/4 the size of your average pod. If you get a magnifying glass, you can see their eggs...typically just above the sand bed. Sometimes you can see an individual with a small cluster of these eggs attached to their rear.

I'm sure they are harmless. I may add a pod-eater to reduce the populations somewhat.

Do they look like these?

Sorry for the picture quality. The photo was actually better, but I overcompressed it trying to meet the photo standards of this site....
