little critters

[howdy20012002]

I have a tank that I have noticed lots of little bugs crawling around on the glass.
they are insect like with antenna and are almost clear in colour.
they are about 1 mm in length.
I would try to take a picture but I wouldn't be able to zoom in that much.
any ideas as to they may be?
and no, they aren't amipods or copepods...lol
thanks

Hmm, I notice something similar on my tank walls as well. Mine are white though, small antenna.. they resemble a mini snail of some sort.

Sorry, kind of a useless post....do yours resemble a snail/slug at all?

i have noticed a small weird snail looking thing that appeared to have no shell..it was about the size of a nassarius snail.
and the critters are white as well..they are just so small that they are pretty much transparent.

Sounds like maybe Flatworms

Hmm.. mine are white as well. Does yours resemble a flatworm? Mine are more-so round shaped tiny white dots with antenna.

mine have legs...
not really worm like- they look more like a flea more than a worm

They are pods.

[howdy20012002]

what type of pods?
there are 100's of them crawling around the tank
They aren't ampipods...much smaller and look different.

They will grow into some kind of amphipod or copo pod, they are a good thing though.
