Small White Specs On Glass

[stiffler69]

Hello i have some moving little white specs on the tank glass some appear to be just a single spec with some sort of tentacles coming from it and the others are a bigger white dot with two smaller white dots at the top of them does anyone have any ideas what these are thanks.

Not so much a emergency just curious as to what they are

Sounds like nematodes. They are usually present in all aquariums to some extent, they are noticeable when there is an abundance of food for them and they come up and out of the gravel feasting on it. They are not parasites and will not harm aquatic life in the aquarium. They are, however, a sign that your aquarium water might be a little rich in nutrients. Increase the amount and frequency of the water changes you do weekly including good gravel vacuum to get rid of them and watch out for overfeeding.

I also think they are a great source for Fry just in case you have some =)
