Default Re: white little bugs
sounds like copepods

normal, and generally harmless

in fact, some fish will chow down on them


I catch a glimpse of a few every once in a while cruising around the back wall of my tank, appearing to be feeding on the algae that I don't clean off (I leave it as a snack for the bristlenoses and the oto)
