Very Very Small Moving White Dots On Tank Glass

[Lord Spooky]

I know i posted this in tropical chat but i figured i would get more responses here. Like i said they are extremely small and move kinda quickly. Are they parasites?

Sounds like it yes.
Been feeding any live foods.
Over feeding.

Do they looks like worms or like round little dots?

Litte tiny round dots

Get a magifying glass to see if the dots have legs.
Might be water mites.

I had them in with my Lionhead a couple of weeks back, dunno where they came from. They looked like little discs, little moving lice. I dosed the tank with some anti-crustacean/parasite thing my shop sells and haven't seen 'em since.

Yes fish lice or louse as some like to call it.
The interpet crustaceon med wipes your bacteria colony out in the filter but a very powerful med.



The tail on the parasite is it forked.

This is what anchor worm looks like.
