What are these small brown flakes? The appeared a few weeks ago and when blown on they fall back to the bottom of the tank. The dont float much.

Do you feed flake food? I have a similar issue in my 20g, it looks like little brown confetti. LOL

Nope, i dont feed flake food.

Hmm not too sure what it could be then. My best bet was on leftover food.

If possible when you do your next water change try to siphon out the speckles.

LOL. best advice I have, sorry...

Maybe it could be dead algea that i scraped off of the glass that was not removed from the tank?

I see flatworms (red planaria) on the glass.
