Anyone knows what are those tiny mini bugs? How do I get rid of them? It's around the edges and side of my tank..

I noticed I have planaria in my tank.. But that's inside the tank.

I cannot see what insects those are but I can imagine them to be Bathroom flies or Clogmia albipunctata.

Oops sorry.. Can't get a decent photo of them.. Too tiny.. It doesn't look like bathroom fly.. It's just tiny white spot thingy crawling around..

It is speed shrimp. Is it CRS or RCS shrimp tank?

Try this, catch pen. store some bait food on the end. It helps, I also hate seed shrimp.

Dscheng, I think threadstarter is talking about bugs outside his tank. FaRnieGuy, can you confirm?

Can't see clearly from the photos... but white bugs crawling around outside of the tank could just be white mites or springtails or other common household bugs, they usually like hanging around humid places (ie. edges of aquarium tanks) and feed on microscopic organic matter, mold and fungus.

I guess you just have to manually wipe them away and try to reduce their population, perhaps do a general cleaning around the tank area to reduce the accumulation of dust and dirt on surfaces. Improving ventilation in the area could help to, helps reduce humidity.
