Little White Things Crawling In My Tank

[Faythee]

In my 29 gallon. All I have in there right now is my BN Pleco. I did a water change yesterday and now I look in there and see these little white things, like tiny round bugs, crawling all over the piece of wood ! Anyone know what it could be ?

Do you feed any live foods.
Do they have suckers.
Is there any of them on the fish.
Added any live plants lately to the tank.

My Pleco hides under the wood all day so it is hard for me to see if anything is on him. They crawl like mites or somthing, can't tell if there are suckers, so tiny. No live plants or foods. I had a piece of cucumber in there the day before last.

Tanks can get water mites.
Not sure what they are.
Is it possible to take a pic and blow it up to see what they are.

Take a look here, match anything? http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showto...p;#entry2329313

They do not show in pics. The link is great but they are so small I can't tell what they are. I put some Coppersafe in there just in case. They may be harmless. I was going to transfer this filter to my new tank I'm setting up and now I suppose I shouldn't. Uggghhhh

Probably just copepods- Harmless.
