Tiny white bugs

[Caleb1266]

Smallest little white bugs crawling on my glass. They are smaller than the tip of a pen for sure. They are a lot smaller than copepods I’ve seen but I’m not sure if they are just babies or what but there are hundreds or even thousands on the front and back glass of my tank. I attached a video and you can kind of see them once my camera focuses. Please let me know what you think they are. Thanks!

It won’t upload for some reason but I am assuming they are pods just wondering if they were that small

I would say somekind of copepods. I added a few jars from algaebarn and I started seeing the same little white spots. Identical (i believe) as what was in the jars. Great for your tank!

I know exactly what you are talking about have same thing curious to know what they are mine come and go but occasionally ill see lots and then they dwindle down over the next few days

This is what I added. Theyve seemed to multiple. May show up on glass more at night if you shine a light in.

Copepods come in many many sizes. Some are definitely very tiny!

Put your tank water in a microscope, you’ll see even smaller things that’ll make you never want to put your bare hands inside again.

Probably amphipods/copepods. If you’re concern then you can easily do a large volume water change. But they do have benefits to the aquarium. here is a link if you want to read more about..
