i am a relative newbie to fish. have had a 26 gallon tank for 9 months.
i have had a few deaths due to poor maintenance and ignorance already, but had finally been keeping things running well.
i have 2 adult mollies, 1 juvenile mollie, 2 platies, 4 red tetras, 2 ghost catfish, 2 albino cory catfish, 1 green cory, and one algae eater.
about 3 weeks ago, we noticed a bunch of tiny white fry looking organisms hiding in the rocks and among the fake plants.
we assumed they were fry because they had just appeared. now it is 3 weeks later and we have more than before and they are the same size.
i caught one and tried to get a photo of it, but it is too small.
there are hundreds of them in my tank, but not visible unless you look closely.
they are about the size of a flea and look similar.
can someone help me identify these things and also tell me if they are good, bad, or indifferent to the health of my tank
many thanks
btw... i feed twice a day in small amounts that they eat in about 2 minutes or less. i mainly feed flake food from petsmart, but once in a while throw in some dried brine
