Straaaange Creatures In My Tank

[catxx]

so i was looking at my hex tank today, there are no fish in it, i just changed it from gravel to sand and it went through a mini cycle (also replaced filter cartridges, had fear of contagious disease that could be responisble for the death of 2 of my bettas), it has bogwood (new) & live plants (from my other tanks). the sand was second hand and came with a few pond snails which i have been squishing. because of this squishing i got planaria, i did a water change and they mostly went away.

but now theres a new tiny critter in my tank, no pics as it's TINY, barely a milimetre, and white, it has a round blob body with microscopic antennae and two smaller blobby bits at the back, it crawls and then "hops" through the water really quickly, definately not the wiggly worms like planaria.

any idea

thank you! that's exactly what they are! after i posted this i though "i wonder if they're those triclops thingys"

hopefully my tank has finished it's mini cycle and i'll be able to move someone over soon to wipe them out hehe.
