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.

If it's infusoria, yes. Also, you do realize this is a saltwater forum, right? :)
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
