hi, i just noticed some very small white coloured bugs in my tank, they look a bit like baby spiders, they are also on my top cover plants duckweed etc, will they do any harm to my fish?
thanks

Have a look here Hitchhikers in freshwater tanks

Probably just a harmless copepod or something.

Thanks for that, I think they are actually living on the duck weed type of plant that I have, when I was doing a water change today I noticed them in the tank but I think I must off knocked some in the water, they are gone now, drowned I suppose, spiders I think
