Default Some kind of bug on top of my plants

I've had the same on the leaves protruding out of the water. I'll be
interested to find out what they were. I trimmed my plants so there was
nothing protruding out of the water and they're gone, and haven't returned
since

That would be interesting to try, but I don't belive my fishes bother

abouth
them. These bugs realy are small and the fishes doesn't seem to see them,
and how abouth these on the aquarium glass above watherline, my fishes
doesn't jump for nothing.

Can't recall the name of the insect. But maybe you would want to remove

the
plant for a while and let the fish enjoy them.

I did not notice before, but now it seems like I have some kind of

bugs
on
top of the leves of my floting plant, the same kind is on the glass of

the
aquarium. It seems like it is not going down into the water, just on

top
of
the water. They are abouth 1mm yellow/red or smaller, difficult to see

them
wery clear. when I tried to squeese them they just jump away. They can
"walk" on the water.

Someone got anny qlue what it is, how I can get rid of them ?

They are harmless. The fish sometimes eat them.
