Tiny Little Bugs

[perfectlyflawed]

Hi, I have a 10 gallon tank with about 10 Platies, 2 Swordtails, and 35 Guppies (mostly baby & teenage ones). I do all the required water changes, PH seems to be normal, but just today I noticed very tiny little bugs crawling around the gravel in my tank, they were around 1 millimeter long, or less, barely visible. I noticed about two dozen of them lurking in the gravel, maybe there's a lot more hidden beneath it. It isn't waste or dirt, I'm sure they're some sort of living organism. Does anyone know what they are, and what I should? Would just changing all the gravel and artificial plants solve the problem?
Thanks

They're probably just some sort of non-parasitic mite that live of food not eaten due to overfeeding.
I dont see how overfeeding is possible with 47 fish in a 10 gallon O_O
Overstocked mate, big time.

(i know they're mostly babies, and i'm not trying to be mean, but thats excessive and a half)

Hmm... it really doesn't seem overstocked to me, the most adult fish I have are maybe 6, the rest are like half their size.... But I guess I should plan on buying a new tank soon.
Thanks
