Hi....just went to feed my fish and there are loads of bugs alover my lilly pads! tried to take a photo but they're just too dam small and they jump too! so I had to put the lid back on sharpish...they look like they are eating my lilly pads too which is rather annoying...i did a google on them and looks like they might be springtails has anyone else had them in their tanks and if so how did you get rid of them??
 
Quite a few of us have had them before. They are nothing to worry about and wont harm anything. They're fun, live food for the fish.
To get rid of them you'd have to remove all floating plants and increase surface movement. But there's really no need.
