Do I have pods?

I have not intentionally added any pods but yesterday I saw these little guys on the glass. Are they pods? It was hard to get a clear picture. They looked like little bugs and were swimming around on the glass.

very hard to see in the pic, but they are little white dots moving? Then yeah likely pods. If you added anything wet from another tank, anything at all, they will have hitchhiked in.

Yes they look like little white dots moving around. I have added 2 fish, snails, and a live rock over the past 2 months so lots of options.

Cheapie 10x loupe from Amazon works great for looking at tiny things on the front glass. Makes it easy to differentiate between copepods vs flatworms,,, etc.

I would bet pods in that case. You can add some phyto to your tank every once in a while to feed them, it will keep the population up. (this is why I feel so bad for folks that go buy 5-6 jars of pods... they will get into your tank for free evenutally)
