Little white kritters?

[Iceman72]

Hey everyone I was just setting in front of my tank and I noticed all these little tiny white critters on the glass. My daughter thinks they are parasites. Any ideas before I put something in my tank?

I'd assume they are pods, but obviously can't see anything from the picture. Do they look like bugs?

They look like little white bugs.

 

[Sniperhank]

Pods. Good guys to have. They clean up detrius and are fish food.

 

[Iceman72]

Cool. Should I no longer stick my arm in the tank with out some glove on.

 

[Sniperhank]

You'll be fine.

 

[Iceman72]

Cool thanks. How did I manage to grow these?

 

[Sniperhank]

They come in on sand and rock as hitchhikers. You'll probably find more stuff around that came in. Just keep your eyes open, research, and ask questions and you'll be fine.
