Hello!
I have a small tank/bowl for my betta and cherry shrimp. It's non-aerated. All was fine for over a month. Sadly both my betta and shrimp died recently. So currently my tank is empty. As I'm waiting for my new betta to arrive I noticed that I have two issues with the tank. Problem one is a large string/hairy algea bloom happening in the tank. How can I get rid of this??
The other problem, which is worrying me even more is the fact that I noticed tiny white tear-dropped bugs in my tank. They're the size of 0.5mm. Many of them are either roaming around the glass or on one of my large mossballs (the one with the hairy algea bloom).
I've taken some photos, but they're so small it's hard to see. In either regard I hope this helps anyway:

I hope somebody can help identify these creatures and whether or not they're dangerous. Also hope to get rid of the algea cause it's growing at a VERY rapid pace.
Thank you!
