Parasites in Tank
I noticed recently very small critter crawling on the glass above the water
line in my tank, as well as sort of hopping on the surface of the water. I can't seem to see any below the water line. They are very small, so small I can barely tell they are critters until they move. They are plain white is about all I can see. No new fish have been added to the tank, and no new plants. Any thoughts? -- BV. www.iheartmypond.com

Not a parasite, harmless I'd opt for the springtail theory as well. They're not only not harmless, some surface fish even like them. Olivier
