Tiny White critters
Hey everyone! I really appreciate all the help that you all have given!!! I have yet another in what I am sure will be a mile long list of questions. My tank has cycled and is doing great! In the last few days however, I have noticed a ton and I do mean a ton of tiny white critters on the glass, they squirm about on the glass and I've noticed them on the LR. What are they and are they a problem???????

Thanks!

They are copepods. They are not harmful at all. The more the better. =)

Yeah, you'll always notice those on the glass or whatever. Liek CDM26 stated, they are not harmful in any way.

Are they in the shape of a small wheel hub with spokes?
