tiny little bugs ... no pods
ok so in my 20 gal i noticed these tiny little "bugs" never saw anything like them. they arent pods and never had/noticed them in my 75g. little and brown. though they were brown algie on the glass but noticed when looked at closly the they were moving indpendant of the current. any thoughts? just lost 2 fish to ICK ... i think could those things have anything to do w/ it ?
two fish were in a tank, one said to the other "I'll drive you man the guns"

It may be flatworms.

Sure they weren't copepod's? A lot of people get them and amphipods mixed up. Amphipods are the shrimp like creatures scurrying over the rocks at night. Copepods are smaller and either swim w/a jerky motion or crawl over the rocks. Just a guess.

pics would be great but unfortinatly i dont have a camera that would show enough detail. and i have no doubt they arent pods.... anyway here is the best i can do in terms of a pic.
pretend the space below is my glass...

So those markings make up what one of those bugs look like?
To me that is classic acoel flatworm shape. Try a google of the name and see if that matches what you are seeing.

So true. But I bet we have one difference....you are probably a guy right? I've only come across one other female Cory in my life.
