While squishing snails in my 29gal planted tank I found these little bugs on the glass. You can barely see them. I used my tongs to make them move so they would be visable. Look just below the right side you will see the little white dot moving quickly. To fast to be a baby snail or is it?

  • I bought some plants just before my Betta's spawned and my tanks is now full of tiny bugs just like what I am seeing here. Not sure what they are, but if there is tiny food to keep them alive, then I hope there is tiny food for the baby Bettas (2 days old now) to eat. I am still doing research to find out what they are.

  • I found all kinds of things in my tank after buying plants too. Let me know what you find out. I have had all kinds of people give me all kinds of answers.. I think all of my critters are gone now.

  • I have the same things, also after putting new plants in my tank. Had them adn some apple or ram-horn snails appearing to...

  • snails you retard small minows or puffer will take care of them even a betta.

  • @KayMac91407

    What do your tiny bugs look like? Were you able to find out what they were?

  • @cah027 i have them too and they hop!

  • I think they're water fleas?

    I'm probably wrong though. I just compared the ones in my turtle tank with a google images one and they looked about the same. (Body shape, not details)

    They don't seem like too much of a problem though. All those parasites ever did was hang around some turtle crap untill I cleaned the tank. They seem to come and go. But I wouldn't worry about it too much.

  • Yeah they do kind of look that way. Im not sure what they are but I got a lot of little creatures when I bought a plant package online.

  • Oh, it's on my dog food for some reason. :(

  • couldn't really see anything but the shrimp. Sorry.
