Hi - I'm a relative newbie to tropical fish. I bought some plants for the tank and think I may have transported some small (less than 1mm long) green fleas that live on top of the water, edge of the water/tank and 'hop around' when disturbed. I've cleaned the tank out thoroughly (I know it's a risk to the fish but I needed to get rid of these insects) but they're back, so I guess they must have laid eggs in the gravel and I didn't do a thorough enough cleaning job. I'm not sure what these insects are living off?
Does anyone know what these insects are and how to get rid of them - is there a chemical that I can use which won't harm the fish (Plecs x 2, Parrot x 3, Tiger x2, and a few smaller fish).
Help!
