Hello, I have had this tank for around 3 weeks, and have only just noticed these small white specks floating around the tanks and attaching to my neon tetras. Is this anything to worry about ?

Definitely seems odd that you’ve got white specs floating around. I had an ich infestation in my 29g comet tank (was to be expected, they’re comets lol) and although a lot of them were covered with quite a lot of spots I never did see any floating around or on the substrate.
Keep in mind, if you’re using an ich treatment you’ll want to remove any decorations and whatever else you don’t want to turn blue! I left my air line in the tank purposely though. The blue staining on the line actually looks better than the clear in my opinion!
Whatever decorations you do remove, clean them thoroughly and make sure they’re rinsed extremely well to reduce the risk of reintroducing the parasite to the tank
