Actually I figured it out. They are ostracods, tiny tiny tiny crustaceans.

I don't have any live plants. The newest addition in like the past 6 months was the anemone. It came in a sealed plastic container from Walmart. I noticed them 2-3 weeks after putting that in, but I think that's only because it's white and they are easy to notice on it. I did a gravel vac a few...

Maybe this is better?

The little black spots all over the anemone in the picture are them. There's no way you can't see the little black dots. I got the anemone at walmart. It's white with pink tips, I haven't had any problems with it yet but I'll keep an eye out now. I have two platies (6 counting fry), a guppy...

I've had my freshwater tank set up for awhile now, everything's fine, cycling went great, platy just had four babies... Anyway, after staring at my tank for a few minutes the other day, I started to notice a few "sand particles" jumping around down there. When I looked closer, I noticed hundreds...

I did another water change, probably like 80%... No nitrites at all. My problem was my platies constantly eating the diatoms and leaving more waste than a goldfish. I'm pretty sure they're all going to die, they have ich as bad as Petco now :| except the guppy. He's basically invincible. Thanks...

Finally got some time away from work for my fishies. I just did a 60% water change... Went down to maybe like 1.25. Going to do the other 40% tomorrow... As for the ich, my tetras are covered and faded in color and not doing very good :( I've raised the temp a little but I don't have a decent...

I haven't changed the water up until two days ago, that was when the nitrites started getting high. It's almost at 3ppm right now. I did 25% on Sunday and 25% yesterday. Before this my water has always passed weekly tests. I've got a lot of diatoms right now, but my tank is cycling. I just...

I want to add that each gravel sweep was 25%, should I just do like 90% at once?

Finally set up my 25 gallon tank after mooonths. I've got a guppy, two platies, 5 tetras and a bad ass albino bushynose pleco. When I first brought the fish home, I of course had ich for a few days, but I treated it with quick cure, got my water perfect and it went away. Month later, my water...

His anal fin is already a lot longer and I can now definitely see his sword growing :) It's exciting to watch.
