after a close inspection of my amozon frogbit today i noticed that there are tiny inscects on some of the leaves.
they are light brown and about the size of a grain of salt and jump away when you put your finger near them.
i have not got a clue what they are but i think they could be feeding on the leaves like a common garden ahid.
any ideas ?
i imagine that they are not helpfull in the aquarium so i have placed some sticky paper inscect traps on the leaves to get rid of them.
 
Don't bother with the paper, they are just harmless springtails, probably Sminthurides aquaticus :good:.
