what are these?

[Dyncaus]

tiny white specs on glass in my main tank. they move around, they are really small, like salt sized, i always though copepods where the bigger ones on the glass, i am not sure what these small things are. anyone else know? thanks

Copepods, Are there more of them at night then in the day?

Baby snails? I get the same thing from time to time. I notice the babies under the snail's shell and then they are on the glass and not latched to the snail any longer. They look like miniature pieces of rice. They will usually be off the glass the next day.

HMMMM. I never knew that. I'll have to check it out. If they are parisites, how do you get rid of them?

[Dyncaus]

ok, here are is a pic, also another pic of my re-aquascaping

[AlienAnchovies]

oh i have tons of those, after i got rid of my mandarin i swear these things took the tank over the same night, the damsels seem to love eating them though

Pretty sure they are copepods of some sort (tiny crustaceans and a good food source for other critters in your tank).

[TAXMAN]

That looks like what I have too.

thanks guys, i hope they are just copepods, it would make sense since the tank has been fishless for about a month now, should be some good food for my blenny if he makes it through his copper treatment.
