Not sure what the subjects photos are, but assuming they are the white dogs on the glass, they could be copepods, ostracods, spirobid worms, detritus, or possibly something entirely different. Are you able to get clearer pictures/circle the hitchhikers in question?Hi, can anyone tell me what these are? They barely/rarely move on the glass. They’re actually really skinny white worms. My camera had a terrible time capturing them. They’re super tiny, barely visible to the naked eye unless you’re directly looking at the glass. Tank is 5 months old on the 16th. It’s like mechanical pencil lead thin marks. They came yesterday in small area then today they exploded all over the glass.
Not pods. These hitchhikers look like some kind of worm (as they appear to bend), though I’m not sure about the specifics.
Last week I added two jars of ecopods from AlgaeBarn
The video actually does help somewhat in this case - based on the movement pattern I can see from some of the worms in the video, I'd guess (I'm not certain, but it's the category I'm leaning toward at the moment) that these are some kind of young polychaete (bristle) worm. Again, they are most likely harmless, but I'd suggest keeping an extra vigilant eye out for a few days here just to be safe.
