A few days ago I noticed that my tank is absolutely infested with thousands of near-microscopic, flea-looking bugs. After much frantic searching I am 99% sure that they are copepods.
I keep seeing people say that the fish should take care of the problem. But the only fish in the tank is an Oscar and he is completely uninterested. I don't think he can even see them, to be quite honest.
So what kind of fish will eat them? And should I turn up the temperature as well?
Has anyone had success killing the copepods off without doing a complete tank cleaning and all brand new water? This tank is still cycling and the Oscar is a sensitive albino, so I am leary of starting his home from scratch again.
