Hi everyone I attached a video of these super tiny clear/milk color bugs that float around my tank or usually crawl onto my plants. It’s been 6 weeks since I started up this freshwater aquarium and it is now fully cycled out. I got my needle leaf Java fern from a local aquatic plant seller who guaranteed no snails but I noticed many small snails forming after I started this tank up which is ok I can just feed them to my future puffer fish.
Let me know what you guys think these little bugs are and if I can do anything to get rid of them!
Thanks
Tank: 5 gallon freshwater

I'm guessing infusoria. No fish in the tank yet? That's great fry food.

Hi yes no fish in the tank yet. So you think they’re fine to be in there? This tank is going to be for a pea puffer
 
If it's infusoria, yes. Also, you do realize this is a saltwater forum, right? :)
