Well after the recent outbreak of Ich in my tank(which is being treated), I noticed a ton of little white things crawling all over the glass of my tank. They are like tiny bugs and they move around a lot. Anybody know what these are?
White things on glass

As has been said; probably copepods, first time I saw them (right after I set up my tank) I almost freaked out. They are kinda cool to watch (they are so tiny) and to see my Firefish eating them off the glass.
Should be no need to cut down on feeding...These, themselves, will provide a great additional food source for the tank...
I agree, if you're running fallow right now they will multiple because fish aren't in there eating them like candy. No worries, they are good for the tank.
I have no fish in my tank. I have nothing to feed. :flamed:
And thanks for the responses guys. I knew that copepods were a good thing but I didn't really know what they looked like.
Oh, I'll add that after my fish went back in after 6 weeks, I bet I've noticed a good 60% drop in their noticable population.
