I'm a beginner and everything has been going swimmingly (excuse the pun), but I woke this morning to find hundreds of white specs on the glass of the aquarium. They are about 2mm wide and on close inspection they are hanging on by a thread. I think I can identify tentacle like structures but the are very small. After searching on the net I'm convinced they are Hydra.
I've got a 60L tank with just 4 platies at the moment. The cycling is going well and ammonia and nitrates are both 0, but I may have been over-feeding a bit.
I don't really want to add any chemicals to the water. My next fish is going to be a dwarf gourami and I've read that they might be able to control them. Anyone got any thoughts on ths? I haven't got any live plants yet but I have got a piece of Mopani wood. Could this be the source of the problem?
